Can someone explain why

is incorrect?
There is no ambiguity in meaning here. Maple trees shed their autumn leaves earlier than oak tries (shed their autumn leaves).
Why is it labeled as incorrect?
Heyoasis90 ,
There is actually a wrong meaning conveyed by your sentence. It is implying Maple Trees shed leaves earlier than maple trees shed Oak trees. Hence, the sentence is incorrect.
Does that make sense?
