Is it normal for trees to start dropping leaves in June ???

I've got a sunset maple in the front yard that started dropping a few leaves about 3 weeks ago. WTF?

WIFI signals maybe? Ive heard of one town blaming tree deaths on WIFI

OP, also look up on Ice Age coverup, Some say we are about to plunge into the next ice age..

And funny you say this now too. Its been oddly cool today, Ive noticed...

If the temp continues to dip, Id be very worried.

It is rather cool and windy here today, but then again it's only June 11th .... who would have thought summer was in April now in the Northeast ???

Yes I have read about the possible ice age coming about ... and very quickly, but the leaf drop still doesn't make sense unless you add environmental factors.... I think.

Apple orchards here are asking for Federal aid at this point, with the warm late winter, early bud, and unavoidable following frosts and freezes, fruiting has come to a halt.

Personally, I had 3 blooms on my apple trees this year, and not one bee (or any other bug) brave enough to endure the frigid temps in order to pollinate them.

My only hope are my peaches, but they are also falling one one by one falling from the tree ...... devastating year :(

Socialisty apple orchards... hahahha

June 21 is the first day of summer, so yes that's odd, they should be just blooming right now.

Two cherry tress in my yard (gifts from the birds), one close to the house, one a few feet out, the further one out started to bud in the bizarre early warm up and then froze, tiny little sparse leaves on half the branches, one closer to house faring a little better but not much. Never heard of the WIFI issue, thats weird.

Trees loose a lot of water through evaporation from their leaves. If they don't receive enough rain they will drop some leaves to conserve water. I see trees shedding leaves all the time in the hot dry months.

The poor freaking trees are so confused, all the plants are. My strawberries produced from December to may and stopped mid-may (June is when I usually get my best harvest) my hydrangeas have been green since around January and my roses were blooming in February.

The seasons are changing.

LOL

Yeah well..... they picked the wrong libertarian lawn !!! Fingers crossed the weather starts cooperating, or I'll have to find new crop trees. Two years without fruit .... I have a chain saw and know how to use it !!!

Wth i was just outside by the grill before i even saw this thread and the thread caught my eye because.... i noticed dropped leaves all over my yard..I was just like "Weird man"..and shrugged it off...but now.. wtf

We are supposed to plunge into the next great Ice Age. From what I understand about it, it's not going to be a gradual one, but rather a sudden type of ordeal. With as many of the volcanoes and even the melting of the tundra in Russia and possibly Canada and Alaska LOTS of methane's being released in almost incalcable rates and measurements. It's merely a matter of time before we see massive drop offs in tempertures planet wide instead of mostly in the Euporean countries. The Earth's axis is WAY off from the 23.5 degrees. That's also a major contributor in a quite a few ways. I don't think that this major Ice Age is going to last a long long time. Maybe a few decades at max. At least I hope so anyways.

I got a ton of sycamore trees that for years shed from the end of spring until early winter. Does that when there's been no rain and it's really hot out.

tell you what no lack of rain here and I see it all over the city where I live. I have A question ??? Has anyone ever seen a full rainbow at 6 a.m. ... I was told it 's not possible but we had a huge rainbow the other day at 6 a.m. the biggest and brightest I've ever seen. Does anyone have any light bending info? O and sorry don't mean to send your post off topic..

You must be east coast near VA? Because I saw one last week bright and early in the west sky as the un was rising. Found it really odd.

It means Nibiru is near!

Ooooyyyyy ...lol. Well anyhow, it would be great if we could keep track (of Nibiru if need be!!! )

No lack of rain here, and I used that is the excuse last year ...

in brooklyn we have been dropping leaves like crazy here....a couple of weeks ago it truely looked like fall for a week.

but with all the rain now the trees are all full again.
wow trees are cool. i was worried they would not releave...they did.
this might have been from the lack of water from the spring.

you been getting rain up there?

i think the strong sun and lack of water from the spring might have to do with it.

yes this is normal its a constant cycle.

I would have thought so too .... but really , we are getting 1-4 inches of rain a week . That's pretty hard core for here with or without the snow melt.

I think it maybe the sun also. I just noticed the leaves dropping today but late last week saw some pretty interesting burned ones.

my neighbor had jonny jump ups, tulips, and dandylions at the same time back in the 1st week of march this year in NYC. me 8 year old was going around singing feb showers bring march flowers!
heck my tomatoes saw that and left, the just got up and walked away!

There's nothing to see here folks, it's just fukushima radiation, move along now.(Officer Barbrady from Southpark.)

i truely think the draught this spring might be a root cause....then add the sun in. it just takes time for the damage to make it through the tree's system. the water just is not getting out to the leaves. you watch though after the rain water filters through the tree the leaves should come back.
i saw this about 2 weeks ago in NYC. pretty much all of brooklyn.
i just noticed today it is all better. we have had alot of rain now. it took about 2 weeks to recover from our early fall.
we had one maple i thought was gone.
there was not 1 leaf left. it is fine now. it took about a month for it to recover.

Alright, I'm willing to hang in and see how it goes .... :)But lets face it, it's not normal, and Brooklyn just can't hold their water like the Mid Hudson Valley ;) We'll have to see .....

funny i had left this thread and thought....this is not NORMAL but the trees seem to be hanging in .

let hope we can all just keep up with all the new NORMALS!

yes after all the doom is gone it's are own sun that will be our demise.

They are dying, maybe not all in one year but bit by bit they are dying. Take a drive around and go see how many are actually in piss poor condition. I've found though that most people can't tell a half dead tree from a perfectly healthy one anymore though. Denial I suppose. But yeah, its happening here on the west coast too, and has been for 3 years now. It will continue, it will get worse, and it is worldwide.
