My live oaks don’t start dumping their leaves until February or March usually

The live oak near me dropped leaves in February and march last year.

We see tbat every year in our elms. Then suddenly some time in January, poof they drop.
Our sugar maples had almost no color this fall probably because of exception dry weather late September through three weeks of October. They hadn't even dropped their polynoses by then.
The good side of drought: it knocks the heck out of Japanese Beetle populations because they can't burrow in or out of solid red clays here. Also June Bug and cicada pops which have not recovered from a dry summer thirteen years ago

First hard freeze in Alabama was just last week.

The water oak behind me in my neighbor’s back yard won’t lose all its leaves until the end of January. And they’ll be new buds on it by the 2nd wk of Feb. Didn’t pay much attention to it until we put a pool in 3yrs ago. But last wk’s freeze and wind did a number on it.

Obviously due to climate change. Probably triggered by the tax cuts that were passed in 2025. We should raise taxes, it’s the only way to heal the climate.

Not sure about staying on the trees longer but to me this is one of the most colorful fall foliage displays in years in the Cenla area.

We had a wet summer and temps never got scorching hot. Trees are healthy and can withstand more this year. Hard freeze last year toughened them up!
