Experts note that a spectacular show of fall colors depends on the right amount of sunshine, rain and cool temperatures. Northwest falls are often so beautiful, because the region’s weather is often dry, bright and cool, as it has been lately. Like everything else in nature, no pigments: Yellow and Orange— These pigments are in the leaves all year long, but can’t be seen in the spring and summer because they are covered by the green Chlorophyll. These are the same pigments that make egg yolks yellow and carrots orange. Red and Purple—The bright red and purple colors of fall only show up on leaves of trees that produce a lot of Humorist Oct. subject of Study Club The October meeting of the Vernonia Study Club was held at the home of Mrs. John Lentz.

Fall’s cooler weather also causes the food products stored in the leaves to flow to safer quarters—the trees branches and trunk. A thin layer of cells, called the “abciss layer,” then forms across the stem which connects leaf to twig. With this link weakened, the leaf is broken off by an autumn breeze or eventually falls to the ground of it s own weight. Let FREEDOM PRINTING SERVICE HANDLE THE DETAILS FOR YOU.

But if fall temperatures are too warm, or there isn’t enough sugar in the tree, a red maple’s leaves will turn orange or yellow. Brown—Some leaves, like those on oak trees, do not change to bright colors in the fall, but become brown and drab. This is due to the presence of the Chemical tannin, which mixes with the yellow and orange pigments, and turns the leaves brown.
