Cassias are beautiful but those seed pods are no joke! You could try laying down a tarp under the tree to catch them—makes cleanup easier. Have you seen how gorgeous the ones by Village Hall look right now?

Those pods are a pain, but the yellow blooms are worth it, no? Cassia is a tough one for our heat. If you need a better rake or a blower recommendation, let me know.
