But experts say this hint of a change in seasons isn't genuine. Instead it is the tell- tale sign of a "false autumn" They warn the heatwave and drought has pushed the trees into survival mode, with leaves dropping off or changing colour as a result of stress. And some (trees) may end up dying as a result! "
