Your Trees Are Already Preparing for Fall

Even though August still feels like summer, trees are beginning to respond to the changing season.

As daylight hours gradually decrease, trees begin shifting their growth patterns. They start preparing for dormancy by slowing new growth and making changes that will eventually lead to fall color and leaf drop.

You may notice a few leaves changing color or falling earlier than others. This can be completely normal, especially on individual branches or older interior foliage. However, widespread browning, premature leaf drop, or significant canopy thinning can sometimes indicate environmental stress.

For trees, the transition to fall doesn't happen overnight. The process begins weeks before we see the familiar signs of autumn.

Why Are Some Leaves Changing Color in August?

It's still summer, so if you're starting to see yellow or brown leaves on your trees, you might be wondering what's going on.

While fall color is a normal part of a tree's seasonal cycle, early discoloration can sometimes be a sign of stress. Hot, dry weather, root problems, pests, or disease can all cause leaves to change color or drop earlier than expected.

A few discolored leaves aren't necessarily a reason for concern. But if you're seeing significant or widespread changes, it's worth taking a closer look at the tree
