Va weather has been crazy. Usually my yard is full of leaves by the end of October. But this year all my trees were still green and didn't even begin losing their leaves until the first week of November.
The oak trees refused to give up their leaves this year, it’s ridiculous. No pointing raking leaves because most of them are still attached to the trees. Really frustrating.
There's a couple varieties of oak, (silver oak?), that the leaves turn, but don't drop them until early spring. But yeah, its about 1 and 1/2 weeks behind.
Why are there still so many leaves on the trees? This had to be at least a few weeks ago.
It has been a late Fall in the NE. Wouldn't be unusual this year. It's all the talk from the leaf rakers and lawn care guys, like me
I noticed the same thing when we were in DC recently. But in the Ozarks the leaves were gorgeous.
Ok, thanks for providing perspective. I'm in the southeast and most of the leaves are down now, except for oak and beech, but that's every year.
Not in Vermont
never in Vt. brrr

Meanwhile in Oklahoma ours have completely dropped several weeks earlier than usual.

The big drop basically started last week in the area. Trees are usually bare by December 1 or so.
