Anyone know a good source for large leaves for leaf litter?

I think I can get you some Sea Grap Leaves if you want. Hit me up in PM.

Aren't Magnolias really long?
Also I assume that using fresh leaves would lead them to rot as opposed to letting them dry first. Has anyone ever used fresh leaves as leaf litter?

How large? I have a ton of smaller ones but they bags of larger ones I picked up at IAD 2 years ago are now gone.

Just going by my memory as I haven't gone to my parents lately to gather any I would say 1-2" range. :?

The Sea Grape Leaves are about 4.5"-6" across and about 4" long.

Have you used them in your tanks? Ive heard of them being used before... The leaves I was using were about 4-7 inches long.

I myself have not had a chance to use the Sea Grape Leaves, but I know of a few people that do with great reults. Very slow decomposing and hold up well when wet.
