Every fall, deciduous trees in the Southeast (and elsewhere in the country) change color. Every year, we get asked why. The North Carolina Climate Office has a good description at https://climate.ncsu.edu/climateblog?id=302&h=5666e5c1.
Will this year’s drought impact the leaf color in the Southeast? WSB addresses that in a recent article here.
