Fall means changing leaves, and plenty on the ground. 🍂
In Central Ohio, most trees begin changing color and shedding leaves throughout October. Early or unusual leaf drop can sometimes signal stress.
5 things to watch for:
1. Early leaf drop
2. Sudden leaf loss
3. Brown leaves without fall color
4. Dead branches
5. Thinning in one area
