Dear David,

The Mountain Ash trees on Commercial Street, Middleton seem to still have
loads of berries on them, as of this morning.

Dear All,                                            Dec 2, 2015
    Drawing on memory, no more than 2/3 of Oak leaves are normally shed 
before late January and most Beech leaves stay on until buds swell in 
spring.
    This year I noticed >90% Oak and >50% Beech leaves shed by early 
November.
    Also the fruit on a nearby Mountain Ash (Sorbus) usually hang on until 
birds get them over winter. This fall more than 80% of fruit were shed 
~early November; most or all of these were on the ground so likely not early

and messy feeding.

    I am wondering if this apparent change is a product of atypical weather 
or a byproduct of failing memory.

Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville
