Here are the primary times you can expect leaves to fall in Georgia:
- Deciduous: In the northern parts of Georgia, leaves typically start to change color from green to various shades of orange, red, yellow, and purple during the early autumn season when the temperatures begin to cool down. As fall progresses, usually reaching around late October to early November, the leaves usually fall off gradually from the deciduous trees and the landscape takes on a bare aspect with colorful, fallen foliage on the ground.
- Evergreen: Some trees like pines, magnolias, and Live oaks are evergreen species, which implies that they retain their leaves all year round instead of losing them annually like trees that don't retain their leaves during winter. However, a few Evergreen species may undergo subtle transitions in terms of color or slight leaf loss that might not catch attention as opposed to the seasonal transformation of deciduous trees.
