TYees in the campus area have begun to show their
brilliant fall colors. The University is home to species
of colorful trees, including the red maple and oak.
The science of leaves: Plants take water and carbon
dioxide and turn them into food using sunlight and
chlorophyll, which gives leaves their green color.
Many plants stop making food in the fall, so the
chlorophyll goes away, which results in the orange
and yellow colors.
Red-colored leaves are made in the fall from food
trapped in the leaves. Brown colors are also made in
the fall and come from wastes left in the leaves.
