I'm native Floridian. We really do not get leaf change here. It is one of the biggest complaints of northerners that move here. How much they miss there leaf change up north. Now we do have Golden Raintrees here and their leaves turn a salmon color in the fall. In the spring we get piles of brown,just brown, leaves from the oak trees. This is due to the tree leafing out again and the old dead leaves fall to to the ground. I have been up north to see and be amazed at the fall leaf change. It is so beautiful I can see why people
plan trips to the New England area in the fall.

Yes. The Sycamores are yellowing now - but they never get bright yellow, just a sort of brownish-yellow. In Central Florida the 'peak' of fall leaves is right around Christmas. The Elms, maples, sweet gums, ashes and cypress will have as much color as they will get about that time and you will see the typical fall reds, golds and yellows - just not as bright as up north, Also the pine, oaks, camphors and magnolias stay green all year, and as the forest is mixed, there is still a lot of green.

Yes, most leaves do change colors during fall. You will notice a drastic change in landscaping from Summer to Fall. However, there are a few plants that will not change colors such as bushes and palm trees, these plants stay green year-round. And YES, it can get COLD during the winter contrary to what some people have said, it is not uncommon for temperature to go down to the 30s during mid-winter.

They sure do. I have lived here all my life. I recall pasting fall leaves into a book in the 3rd grade. Contrary to what people believe, Florida is not a year round resort. I've seen 10 degree weather more than once.

You'll see a few trees here and there with leaves that will turn color. Not a whole lot, though.

Yes. It don't have to do with Fall though. It's because their life span is finished.

Yes they do, you just won't see as many as if you were up north. Because of the climate and the different trees (tropical trees)

No they don't change color here in central FL. Mostly they just replenish.
