If you were to plant a maple tree in a climate that is warm all year...?

Question

would the leaves still fall in autumn?

Answer 1

It isn't just the warmth that affects the maple (and other deciduous) trees - it is the shortening of days and lengthening of night that triggers the falling of leaves.

Answer 2

Oh Dear God yes. I live in Alabama and have 2 maple trees in my front yard. I had our yard guy get the leaves up Friday afternoon. By Friday evening you couldn't see the lawn again. They're beautiful when the leaves change but they are very messy.

Answer 3

i don't know.
