leaf drop
Trees losing foliage
Leaf drop is the shedding of leaves from a plant, either as a natural seasonal process or as a stress response to drought, disease, or environmental change.
Deciduous trees undergo leaf drop each autumn.
Houseplants may experience leaf drop when moved to new conditions: The ficus had some leaf drop after I brought it home.
