Marcescence is the holding on of leaves that have withered, but not fallen. The marcescent leaves still clinging to young beeches and oaks in our woods shake and rattle in the wind becoming the instruments of winter’s song.

I follow kittenxlady on IG, she rescued a pregnant sow from a hoarding situation...sad to say, one piglet died after 2 days, but Mom and the others are doing well

Hi morrobay! Where ya been? Here and there? Welcome back! We had an early cold snap in October and the trees didn't have a chance to develop the hormone that causes the leaves to fall. So, almost all of the maple leaves are still on the tree--and it's almost February! Has saved me a lot of raking!
morrobay:
Hi Lee (IIRC)
thanks for the welcome back!
As for the maple leaves, will they ever fall? Glad it saved you raking. I have 8 big pecan trees that drop tons of leaves. This year I paid to have the leaves in the front yard bagged (40!), but the back is too big, so they'll just have to be mulched when mowing season starts.
