[Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page

If you have a pool service, their staff should be able to advise you. A 
second sound source is your Retail nursery guy.

My personal preference is any variety of citrus. The species will shed but 
God hasn't invented a tree or bush that won't drop some litter. Citrus is 
relatively clean if you practice good yard housekeeping.
