  • Cover photo description:
  • Chlorophyll in the leaves is the tree`s main means of producing nutrients during the summer. But with autumn comes the destruction of chlorophyll. This demise of the green pigments allows other, previously masked colors to come forward. Those unmasked fall colors quickly become markers for individual deciduous tree species. The two other pigments present in leaves are Carotenoid -produces yellow, orange, and brown. Anthocyanin - produces red. Low temperatures, but above freezing, are good for reds in maples, but an early frost can hurt a bright red color.
