We have removed one fir tree and the neighbor three of them. As mentioned above pine needles may get caught in the small holes. Not sure about maple seeds though. Actually was up opening inspection panels of the house this morning on the leaf guards and found very little crud in there. Mostly muddy crud. So the holes in the gutter guards are quite small and in a big downpour the water may go right over the eavestrough. However I think the guards keep out a lot of crud. As for the garage which have no leaf guards there is quite a lot of crud in there and has to be flushed out regularly.
Having all pine trees cut down between our 2 houses reduces pine needles getting in the eavestrough and reduces fire hazard. I don't see how anything can grow in covered eavestroughs as long as they are flushed once a year....
