Question
We have a pretty old sycamore tree beside our front porch. I like the tree but not the fruit that falls off everywhere... They are taking over our yard, porch, and gutters! I was just curious if there was anything i could do to the tree to stop it from producing the fruit? I really hope so, if not i think we are going to have to go to plan B...

Answer
Hi Ashley,
thanx for your question.  There is a product called Florel (a spray) and it can be expensive but it is supposed to prevent fruit set.

Here's link for more information.

Consult an arborist or your county extension agent before taking this on yourself.  If you need contact information for your county extension agent, give me your state and county I'll get you the contact information ASAP.  I hope this helps.
