[ Deficiencies, such as nitrogen or water, that cause early leaf fall sometimes, al- though not always, cause the buds to open slightly earlier after a warm winter. If only part of the leaves fall early as a re- sult of a period of very hot, dry air, an early autumn rain may cause those left to hold late and the tree to go into winter in 12].
