Something about showing youth and vigor…and being poor. I’m bringing in the big guns this weekend lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Other side of peak in central NJ. Still plenty of color but leaf drop accelerating Probably another 7-10 days of good foliage left. No major storms and warm weather should keep things going a little bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Atlanta/ Roswell , GA all week and was surprised that their leaves were as far along as they were. They had a few frosts last week they were telling us . Stein has a stranglehold down there. All the grass is torched like ours was all summer . It’s been extremely dry down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have had 2-3 freezes into the 20’s and my lowest temp this autumn is 37. So leaf change is almost entirely sunlight / lack of and cool daytime temps and much less if anything to to do with frosts and freezes . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the kids/grandkids lived in central IL (DEC), one of our visits included New Year's Day 2012, and they were still harvesting greens from their cold frame on Jan 3.

Daytime temps matter, but the cold nights mostly do it. As I said, it is also species dependent. Whineminster still has leaves and he’s been colder than you in ORH county. I have species that have been bare a week and some now half gone. I’ve seen others yellow and orange still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 This is what I mean. I two trees (not pictured) that have been bare for over a week. One 75%bare. One just dropping. And the others about half down. But I’ve gone to neighborhoods that look like your street. You probably have a lot of the white oak that drop. Your average temp has not been much cooler.

Only 4 miles or so from Westminster here. Westminster doesn’t radiate like Hubbardston does. Yeah I think his area is like mine . May not have seen frost or freeze. Have you?
