    I am starting to see some fall color change in several of my trees- nothing extensive, but it's definitely there... this seems EARLY to me! Most of the leaves that change color are not hanging on the branches at all though, they fall right off at a touch. Is this a result of the weird, mild summer weather we've had, or am I drying my trees out a tad more than I should?

    I have notice a few large sycamore (I think) trees planted around the fairgrounds near my house definitively changing color, but these are the ONLY trees I've noticed the change on.

    Is anyone else experiencing this?

    It's often the result of dry soil. Poke around in your dirt to see what the moisture situation is.
