A lot of the neighbouring trees are only just starting to change colour but I've noticed that some leaves are falling although they're still green. What's going on there?

Here most trees are still quite green, it was in the 80s yesterday and 70s today. Your garden is what I envision as an “English” garden with various and intriguing plants and pretty flowers.
