Index of Subjects Dear David, The Mountain Ash trees on Commercial Street, Middleton seem to still have loads of berries on them, as of this morning. Frances Lourie -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of David & Alison Webster Sent: Wednesday, December 02, 2015 2:16 PM To: NatureNS@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: [NatureNS] Leaf & Fruit shedding 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
