with the lateness of leaf fall this year, I wonder?
I suspect it's the strange weather we've been having: I've noticed the same thing in my own garden and in some clients' gardens.

The acers were the worst - instead of the usual autumn glory, I've been seeing weeks of gradual browning, one day of red (or orange) and then whoop! off they drop.

Anyone else?
