If you snarf leaves (the technical term for taking others' rakings from their curbs), be a little cautious about those bags which contain grass clippings. Chances are these contain small amounts of weed- killers which can be problematic if these bags are used in veggy gardens. Shouldn't be a problem in the orchard, tho.

I've 'imported' some troublesome plant pests in some bags of leaves/grass clippings, notably a very vigorous strain of crabgrass - wish it was growing that well in my pastures - and a really hardy & hard-to-kill variegated 'Wandering Jew' type plant; it just scoffs at Roundup, shrugs it's shoulders and continues on its way.
Some years, I get a plethora of mimosa(Albizia julbrissen) seedlings popping up here and there, but they're fairly easy to pull up, if you get to 'em early.
