Hi,
Last spring we put an asphalt driveway in front of our house next to a tree. Lately this summer/fall, a bunch of white stuff has been falling from the tree, you can see it on the photo on the asphalt without my car being parked there. I think it is tree sap or fungus. Either way my car requires 2 washings every week because of it and even with that, the wasps are attracted to my car like crazy. I don't know what to do. Do I start trimming the tree that overhangs the asphalt driveway? I've trimmed trees before, big branches even, but this tree's overhang seems to go all the way to the top, so I will try to get what I can, or the most of it by the bottom anyway.. In retrospect, putting the asphalt there was a bad idea, but nothing we can do to change that..
Is there any advice you guys have for a better solution ? I guess I am a bit skeptical on the sap attracting the bees, that's what my coworker told me anyway. Take a look at the pictures and tell me what you think.
Thanks a lot!
