You're throwing a lot of shade, maybe yew need a hug?

And they drop a zillion tiny leaves in the Fall, that are difficult to rake up.

As a kid, we had a giant willow in our backyard, that got hit by lightning and split down the middle. So my dad had it taken down, but kept all the wood, and split it for firewood. It popped so badly in the fireplace, that our dog wouldn't stay in the room when a fire was going, because the constant popping disturbed her so much.
