Trees shed their leaves exactly at the same time as they do in Europe, that autumn. And that is in September onwards. Before April there is Spring season in North India too and that is the time when trees have jut got their fresh green foliage. In April they are at their greenest. The greenery becomes more prominant in the Monsoon months because of the grass growth and washing of tree leaves by the rain.
