Dude I live in southern ontario too and our mape trees are losing their leaves like crazy aso. It must be from the heat, those sun rays have been deadly hot this summer. Very strange....
Wow thats a good thought for sure, earlier I posted that our trees are dropping leaves first facing the NE then it seems to progress from there towards the SW.....

Maybe this is related to the shift in Magnetic North? If the sun is in the same spot at this time of the year, but the pole is moving further into Siberia, then the other side of the world would "think" it was "moving north". Since mineralized water allows electricity to travel through it, (salt water = good / distilled = bad) then it would make a decent hypothesis that trees can be affected by the pole shift and that the leaves falling early show the effect.
cheers, long time lurker.

Just because the well is working doesn't mean the tree might have water loss, the well could be getting water below the root level.

You think because you have a well that the trees have water?
Wells are ground water, usually resoivoirs or water tables. Trees gets theirs from rain, which is surface water. Completely different sources.

hmm god knows what im doing then ! , my plants are in big buckets of water, albiet water with a kick. root osmosis is quite an interesting field of study... one thing roots cannot abide is sunlight, so , in that case there are no roots on the surface, but that depends if the surface is in darkness or not

Looking around this afternoon, there are some red maples on a berm next to a semi-busy street.
So we have the trees in a dry, hot wind, with little water. Even though we've had enough rain, the berm dries out first. And, it is between a concrete street and an asphalt parking lot.
There is evidence of leaf scorch. No leaf drop, the leave looks similar but the holes in the picture are spots on these leaves. Some dried out edges.

Are you saying that the grapes are ready earlier than usual there?
If so that is a very interesting post and I thank you .
This is what I wanted to hear is from people all around the world who take notice of things like our weather.
Much appreciated.
