In the front of my house, I have a multi-trunk yaupon that produces millions of red berries. Several times a year, the birds hit them and then I have about 3 hours of cleaning up of the piles of red excrement that the birds leave in the pool, on the cushions and on my deck! So...I borrowed my mom's chain saw and tomorrow that tree (about 20 feel high!) will be history! What should I plant that is fast growing (hey...I'm almost 60 so don't want it to reach maturity when I'm dead!), does NOT produce anything messy, and will "go with" my house style (modern)?
