Leaf color
Is there any research or knowledge, if the color of the leaves are brighter in the fall that the sugar content is higher the following spring. I have memory of an old timer mention this to me years ago. Not that I'm young, and do respect my elders.
I do notice from year to year the difference in color vibrance in the leaves but don't have enough experience sapping, last fall the colors were really bright around my area.
