This happens to this tree every November (mildly interesting)

Every year on the morning after the first hard frost this tree sheds all of its leaves. It will take most of the day but this is how it starts.
As the sun comes up they start to fall faster and faster. I'll post some pics throughout the day.

The miracles of nature. Sitting and having a cigar with my coffee in the morning let's me see these same miracles because I took the time to watch...we don't always have to rush through the day w/o watching life unfold.

One of my favorite things to do is sitting out on the patio and observing nature as the new day begins. Yesterday morning was our first killing frost/freeze and the trees are quickly shedding their leaves. Too cold (28f) to sit out there this morning to enjoy.

The landscaper in me HATES this tree. Damn tree should already be naked and not hoarding its leaves until the last week of pickup. But nature is fickle like that and the non landscaper in me enjoys it.

I hear ya. I love this tree in the summer because it shades my deck but I hate this tree in fall because I will have a ton of leaves to pickup three weeks after I finished picking up leaves.

I am not 100% sure. It has leaves I various shapes. I can post some pics of the leaves and bark if any of you could ID it. I'll be out burning these leaves and others pretty soon.

I think it's a Yellow Ash.


My Pin Oak is late dropping this year too. I have to keep up with the leaves in my yard each week or else the task becomes monumental.

I would also say a birch.

Ash sounds right. Must be immune to the emerald ash bore that wiped out all my other ash trees. Here is the bark if that helps
