Why do autumn trees of the same species change colour at different times?

I don’t mean differing tree types, but trees in the same woodland, of the same species, can be in completely different stages of shedding- how come? Why do they not all loose their leaves around the same time?

because there is always a little genetic difference…….the same way identical twins might live the same lifestyle but one might go grey first.

there is an expected band of time in which we expect things to happen; so long as it happens within that window, everything is normal
