    Birch start dropping before the frost hits.
    Maybe the loss of daylight triggers it ????

    I was working in northern Ontario this week and seen lots of poplar and birch turning and some already on the ground. Its been constantly around 40F every night for the past week around here and daylight has been quickly slipping away.

    I've noticed here that the birch tend to vary from year to year when they drop. This year it is starting early. A sign of things to come maybe?

    We are getting a little leaf color from the maple in wet areas. But, after the last few cold night, I suspect things will change fast. I like the fall color, but that time between the leaf drop and the snow is very bleak to me. I'm good with white and green, but not so much with brown and short days.

    The Maples have been shedding their leaves for the past week here.
