Tree Leaves

[GattaFish]

Anyone notice that it is November and some trees still have green leaves even after a few frosts and some snow.....?

Totally agree... maples have not dropped yet which is very unusual.. oaks always hold on til around Thanksgiving..

I usually have a decent amount down by Halloween - not this year.

Hope you don't have to hand rake your property

21" of rainfall since early august and above average temps have much to do with this.

Drought stress/below average rainfall along with successive frosts and low temps will typically cause earlier senescence. Not the case this year.

I noticed cause they are on the branches in the roads and on my house and hangin on all the downed powerlines around town. Nothing like fully leafed out trees to catch a whole bunch of heavy wet pre-winter snow and then come crashing down. My town is still 80% dark. No power to my place until Sunday at the earliest. My money is on Wednesday or later.

Been this way the past 3yrs at my house.Ended up putting a temp fence between my house and the hag that lives next door,done doing her leaves as I can't tolerate laziness.

I live in the middle of 15 acres and you are correct. I'd say 80% of the trees still have leaves.
