Tannin from Indian Almond Leaves

[Xellos69]

You know ... the indian almond leave some breeders use produce tannin and other acids, which can also be found in bannana leaves and guava leaves.

i tried experimenting with the bannana leaves, though it didn't make a tea like the almond leaves do (on top of that they became waterlogged and sunk the bubble nests lol)

anyone every tried using guava leaves?

i have never heard of using guava leaves but i know banana leaves are used commonly. indian almond leaves are still the preferred method but recently on another board a member mentioned the possibility of using oak leaves - "I don't know if you have read any of my post on leaves here but i started doing some research on them, and found that are oak tree leave here in the US , has simaler properties as the leave in Singapore. And also the Killie breeders use Oak leaves."

EDIT: its acctually my neighbors tree, but its extending into my yard and hes neglecting fixing it, so i guess its fair game
