Many of the common oaks (Quercus robur) around here are still in
full, green leaf and show no signs of a colour change, let alone
losing their leaves.


.... similar here in east Berkshire regarding that particular species of
oak; most noticeable how they have held onto their colour - albeit
rather dull. Last night's high winds, and some squally gusts associated
with this morning's heavy showers though have removed a significant
proportion of said leaves!
