The problem with the Acnistus arborescens is the multitude of fruit, it will attract more bats and drop more litter in the pool. I already have a lot of fruits and leaves from the Banyan (probably Ficus citrifolia) and the bats that it attracts when fruiting make it difficult to sit outside in the evenings without getting splattered. I would like to find a tree that doesn't produce significant fruit and doesn't have a huge leaf drop in one season. It also needs to be medium sized as I don't have a lot of room and the banyan covers much of the yard. The banyan isn't even in my yard, it is growing on the wall between my neighbors yards. It's huge, it shades 5 or 6 yards in the middle of the block.
