Its not possible! Two of the trees in our complex are sporting yellow leaves. They fall like dandruff on to the ground beneath the branches and crisp into a ragged circle of brown debris. I am pretty sure fall is not coming this early. Of course, these are the two trees that normally do turn early. By August they are usually yellowed and stripping down to their winter skivvies.
But it is barely summer. I search for clues as to why the trees are losing their leaves so soon. I find no caterpillars or evidence of disease. There seems to be no lack of water, no ground pollution visible. If they were persons, I would guess chemo, because all the other trees seem healthy.
Well, I hope this is not some portent of coming issues. I shall have to keep watch. Perhaps it is just a passing fluke that will self correct.
