Following our recent freeze, the leaves of my maple tree started “snowing” down, leaving it almost bare. This was Nov. 19. I had noticed that my tree was bare on Nov. 6 last year, so I don’t know if it was late this year or last year was early? Only “Mother Natures” knows the answer to that, and the Good Lord, of course.
