I live in Ohio in the US and it seems like some of the trees around here have started turning colors way earlier than normal. Is it from the wildfires? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

    Trees drop their leaves whenever there is not enough water. This is often in winter, because they can’t absorb ice. But any water shortage will do. If you are often in nature you may see warning signs such as rolling or folding of the leaves in an attempt to preserve water before the trees decide to just get rid of them early.
