I'm looking for technical information on the changing color, falling leaves, and budding of 
trees.  Example :  Oak trees at a min. temp of 45 degree with 7 hr. sunlight etc. will cause the 
leaves to change.   Or at what max/min temp will cause a Dogwood to bud and blank days to form 
leaves.     

Has this been demonstrated in the lab?

The last question.   Why will a dead tree keep its leaves in the fall after it turns brown in 
the summer and the live tree looses the leaves?

Any help would be grateful

Just a stab at this last query:  the metabolism of hormones responsible
for the pinching off process of the leaves would probably be halted or
greatly inhibited in a non-photosynthesizing plant.

Good luck,
