The trees on my side of the street which were already there when I moved in are mostly bare with just a few leaves. However, the younger trees on the opposite sidewalk which were only planted a couple years ago still have significant amounts of leaves.

At my mom’s old house we had a species of pear tree in the front yard (only produced small berry-sized fruit) and the first couple years after it was planted it would still have leaves in February. Basically it wouldn’t lose the previous years foliage until a month or sow before the new years buds would come in.

Since I’ve been sweeping the sycamore leaves off the porch every three hours, I can’t say that I’ll miss them ;-)
