He's right typically late fall and up to late spring coastal california landscape (mountains, hills) are green. During my 5 years up in Fresno, the driving along the rolling hills just north of the city very much resemble the lush green hills I seen pictures of in Ireland. Come summer they turn brown (golden state, lol), and the only thing that is green are the leaves on the oak trees.
I guess its kind of the opposite in the east where the winter months typically looks barren and dead, and here its green and lush for the most part. One thing different of course it all our trees are green in the summer, and depending on the type of trees in the area some loose they leaves in the late fall like the eastern part of the country.
