leaves?
Collecting now is not as successful as in spring, but if the

I've collected many deciduous trees in the fall with equal
success to spring
collecting. I suspect this tree is doing exactly what you
suggest, Jerry--shedding
it's leaves. They tend to do that.


MUCH too early to be losing leaves in Zone 9, which is where she
lives. There should not even be any color yet. Mine in Zone 8
is still green.
