leaves can fall from trees for various reasons:

1. the tree is deciduous and it is part of its annual cycle.

2. the tree is stressed (drought) - trees will shed leaves to reduce the amount of water lost through transpiration in an effort to survive.

3. the tree is stressed (insect, fungal or bacterial infection) - many trees will simply shed dead or damaged leaves; or shed those that are infected by some form of pathogen in an effort to prevent the spread of the infection.

4. Over watering or root damage - as with point 2, root damage (or damage to the roots from over watering or waterlogged conditions) will result in the tree shedding leaves in an effort to restore a natural "root-shoot" ratio. Normally the basal leaves are shed first
