In this Fox 31 Denver article, Jay Judd from Davey's East Denver office talks about the early changing leaves and what it says about tree health.
It’s still summer in Colorado, but the first signs of fall are coming a little earlier than expected.
Fall leaves can be seen slowly starting to change in August, with peak season coming as soon as mid-September in some areas across the state. While it’s almost the start of fall, some of the changing leaves are coming quicker than usual.
Jay Judd, district manager of the East Denver Davey Tree office, said that’s because of the hot, dry summer.
Why are fall leaves changing earlier this year?
The fall leaves are expected to start peaking in mid-September. While Judd said this is an average time for the fall leaves to peak in parts of Colorado, some of his clients in the Denver metro have reported trees starting to change as early as mid-August, far before the city’s peak season in mid-October.
This is because of the heat and drought conditions.
