ginkgo leaves falling
In the fall, the tree prepares to sleep or go into dormancy for the winter by saving nutrients in its trunk. When you see the leaves turn colors and start to fall, the tree is preparing to sleep for the winter. The leaves on some trees such as our Ginkgo trees fall off right after the first very cold night we have. It's really beautiful to watch!
