By us, we usually get leaf drop this time of year. My weeping cherry is usually the first and there is some type of tree leading into our development that always has significant leaf drop. I think the typical dry spells and heat cause it. It is not leaves changing...it the trees shedding to conserve energy and water, as I understand it.

Looks like we get a break for a while on the mid 90s after today. This week should be very close to seasonable for the temperarures. But unfortunately it still looks drier than normal.
