Ginkgo yellow leaf

DSC02904LSRR.jpg The yellow leaf front of Ginkgo, which has progressed from the north, finally reached Tokyo.

On November 21, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory reported one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information, "Ginkgo Yellow Leaves".

One day later than normal and nine days earlier than last year.

The yellow leaf day of the ginkgo is the first day when most of the leaves turn yellow when looking at the standard Kimata body.

The standard tree in Tokyo is the so-called "earthquake ginkgo" in the Otebori Ryokuchi (commonly known as Kiyomaro Park) at the northeastern end of the Imperial Palace, which has survived the fire caused by DSC02953RSRG.jpgthe Great Kanto Earthquake.

Ginkgo on the Green Road at Hamacho Park Entrance is also completely colored and is at its best.

The leaves are exposed to the soft sunlight, shine golden, and you can experience the deepening autumn.

The yellow leaves of ginkgo in Tokyo tend to be delayed year by year, and in recent years it has been more than half a month later than 50 years ago.

It seems that one of the causes is that the cold in the morning and evening has been weakened compared to the past.
