I'm in Northwestern Oregon and our maple trees are doing the same thing, green on one side and gold on the other. Beautiful, but odd

This might be a conversation you write into your NaNoWriMo

At the coffee shop, when discussion turned to fall colors, you said you’d noticed that the leaves on different sides of a tree are sometimes different

And I would have brought up a scholar of the natural world. Tristan Gooley

The link closest at hand does not exactly answer the question but does suggest learning from the variety in nature

I loved this. I just put the compass app on my phone so I can start figuring out which branches are on the southern side. (I am hopeless when it comes to direction on my own, Except when I get to the part of the neighborhood overlooking the canyon that goes generally east, west, I never know what direction I'm going. I can certainly try to figure out if I can use this if I have any scene where my protagonist is finding her way from one part of a forest to another!
