deciduous trees and shrubs
[ (di-sij-ooh-uhs) ]

Trees and shrubs that, unlike evergreens, lose their leaves and become dormant during the winter.

Leaf peeping is an informal term in the United States and Canada for the activity in which people travel to view and photograph the fall foliage in areas where leaves change colors in autumn,[1] particularly in northern New England,[2][3] Appalachia, the Pacific Northwest, and the upper Midwest, as well as the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.[4][5] An organized excursion for leaf peeping is known as a foliage tour or color tour.

A similar custom in Japan is called momijigari (紅葉&#29417 ;) . In Finland, the season is ruska and a trek is called ruskaretki.

What U.S. climate trends will impact colors this year?
The Western U.S. is facing one of the most severe droughts in history, which impacts foliage. Droughts tend to make leaves less vibrant, more brown, and fall from trees early from physiological stress.

Southern Vermont and New England have seen droughts and outbreaks of the invasive spongy moth, which can dampen foliage colors—but these have not really hit northern New England as badly, where we are seeing very vibrant colors.

In mid and higher elevations out West and in the Rockies with less severe drought, I've been seeing evidence of beautiful foliage in the Rockies and the Sierras. In the coastal ranges, and intermountain West forests, the aspen forests could be a vibrant yellow this year, too.

The Splendor of Autumn
Every autumn we revel in the beauty of the fall colors. The mixture of red, purple, orange and yellow is the result of chemical processes that take place in the tree as the seasons change from summer to winter.

image of leafDuring the spring and summer the leaves have served as factories where most of the foods necessary for the tree's growth are manufactured. This food-making process takes place in the leaf in numerous cells containing chlorophyll, which gives the leaf its green color. This extraordinary chemical absorbs from sunlight the energy that is used in transforming carbon dioxide and water to carbohydrates, such as sugars and starch.

Along with the green pigment are yellow to orange pigments, carotenes and xanthophyll pigments which, for example, give the orange color to a carrot. Most of the year these colors are masked by great amounts of green coloring.

Chlorophyll Breaks Down
But in the fall, because of changes in the length of daylight and changes in temperature, the leaves stop their food-making process. The chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears, and the yellow to orange colors become visible and give the leaves part of their fall splendor.

At the same time other chemical changes may occur, which form additional colors through the development of red anthocyanin pigments. Some mixtures give rise to the reddish and purplish fall colors of trees such as dogwoods and sumacs, while others give the sugar maple its brilliant orange.

Having a basic understanding about the natural world, or even curiosity is a necessary measure in attempting to design a game world... This most recent graphical update is insulting for the world around us, and it shows how oblivious as humans you are.

Do you even care??!

You're worried about incorrect leaves?

Your character inhabits a world filled with monsters, vampires, werewolves, zombies, dragons, unicorns, elves, goblins, ghosts, imps, ogres etc... you can catch sharks with your bare hands, carry 28 Great Whites in your backpack then eat one in a single bite.

You can teleport, do magic, make magic potions, build an entire house in a minute... and on the subject of trees, you can cut one down and it will be fully re-grown moments later.

It's a fantasy game, you have to suspend logic. ;)
"All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain"

If all those leaves fall who is going to rake them? Not me! Looking at the map, it seems like Runescape is prone to lake effect snow. You have open waters everywhere, a persistent area of cold to the northwest. These trees got like half an inch of heavy wet snow from a fast moving weather system. It's a nice decoration and mostly harmless.
