yellowing leaves
Seasonal tree change
Yellowing leaves are leaves that have turned or are turning yellow, typically indicating stress, disease, nutrient deficiency, or seasonal change.
The phrase appears frequently in gardening contexts: The yellowing leaves suggest the plant needs more nitrogen.
In autumn, yellowing leaves are simply part of the natural cycle before they fall.
