As the temperature drops the leaves begin to curl up length ways, they start looking like tubes. If the mercury drops into the teens the tubes get tighter; the tighter the tubes the colder it is out there; I’ve seen them in minus 0 weather, they look like skinny drinking straws. The leaf clusters themselves also start to droop as the degree numbers fall. What is pictured is around 25 degrees I would say.
So,
before you burst out the door in your lightweight jacket because the sun was
out and it looked warmer than it was, cast a quick glance in the direction of
your botanical equivalent to Billy and George; it has no audience to keep
happy, no dumb little target to hit, it will give you the straight skinny on
how skinny, or thick of a coat you’ll need out there.
