Another reason I don't think it's heat and lack of water is my echinacea. It's dying and this is an established patch of it. It's a drought resistant plant. I've never seen it look like this even in the fall.
Another thing I noticed way back in June is the shade isn't where it has always been. We had some prime parking spots in the summer everyone wanted at work. Your car would be shaded during the hotest parts of the day. The same trees the same parking spots but the shade doesn't touch your car hardly. Not like it use to. Even the trees around my house are putting the shade on the house like they use to during the hottest part of the day. Have all these earthquakes changed our ordit and it's having an effect? I don't know but something is causing this I'm just not sure what.

How about contacting the great prophet "Google"? The OP's post as well as the post about Poplar trees both point to Larvae. In fact, it can even tell you how do determine the cause and type of Larvae.

Tomatoes does not do well, if it is over 84 F ( 29 C ) degrees.
That's why I doesn't get any tomatoes in the summer, here in Florida.
I can only grow them in late winter, and early spring.

It isn't drought (although drought is bad and can show up several seasons after it occurs). It isn't drought because plants in pots being watered and young trees in nurseries have the same damaged foliage as older trees in the ground.
And the light hasn't changed, the tree canopies are thin because they are dying. They put out fewer leaves, they drop leaves they do put out, and the individual leaves are smaller than normal, so more light is getting through to places that used to be shady.
The trees are damaged from decades of exposure to air pollution. No different than someone who smokes cigarettes for years and then gets emphysema or lung cancer.

Could it be that the plants that have flowered but not produced fruit are lacking pollenators? Does this have something to do with the decline in bees?
My tomato plants are producing fruit, but there are other issues. The ones with a bit of shade are doing OK, giving me large tomatoes that ripen a little slowly. The ones in full sun are staying pink instead of turning red, like another posted noted. They also are infested with something that bores into them and hangs out in the seed area.
Interesting that the tomatoes not exposed to full sun are doing better the ones in the sun. Once again, a guilty finger is being pointed to something being wrong with the sun and/or its rays.

Central Virginia Here. Last week i was walking around in the backyard and happened to notice a tree whos leaves had turned yellow and had JUST started to lose a few. I didnt know what kind of tree it was, so i didnt know if it was a natural timing or not.. but it did strike me as being a bit odd (early). Later in the week i visited my mother who lives about 15 minutes away, and while in her back yard i noticed the same type of tree who's leaves were also turning yellow. Turns out they are both maples (hers and mine). Contrary to some posts here the tree doesn't look sick at all though.. there are no holes in the leaves.. they dont look burnt or crumpled when they fall to the ground... it Literally looks like fall came early, but just for those trees. I noticed there were also a lot of pine needles starting to collect in the grass aswell. Again, im not a botanist so i dont know if this is about the right time for that to start or not.... all i know is every fall i have to rake them up lol, but its not fall yet? I found this sight a few days ago and was browsing through all of the topics, and saw this thread - i still dont know what to think though. Yes, we have a had a dry summer BUT the past 4 or 5 years has been this exact same pattern. We've had a very cold/wet winter- an extremely nice and rainy spring- and then when summer he we a water shortage... If this were simply an effect of stress, why hasn't it been happening every year? Or-at the same time- if it has, maybe we just haven't noticed?

Not to mention it looks like most of Ontario is under a tornado watch this evening. I couldn't believe all the watches on the weather website I just checked out. Everyone affected be safe tonite!
