Title: Have your leaves turned colors and dropped off?
Post by: sommap on October 16, 2011, 09:12:56 am

I realize that if you live with palm trees, this doesn't happen.  I live in Minnesota and we quite often get great colors in the fall.  I have a lot of trees and a few of them get a deep red.  I have some cranapple trees that flower in beautiful white, light pink and dark pink shades in the spring, but just fall off in the fall.  Right now I only have a few leaves still clinging to the trees.

Yes the leaves are changing colors and falling as well as the stupid acorns that fall out of  the tree right over the tin roof.  It makes it hard to fall asleep. I love the different colors of leaves they are so pretty especially the maple trees they are bright.

All the leaves on my trees fell off last week during a big wind storm we had here.

Oh no not yet.  I live in SC and they won't change color for a little while now.  The high is constently in the low 80's right now, but it will start to cool down in the next month or so.
