Chlorophyll causes Fall leaves to change color
Someone recently asked me, “Why
do leaves change color in the fall?’’
According to botanists, autumn’s
cooler temperatures and shorter days
cause chlorophyll—which gives
two leaves are alike, and none of them
will have the same splendid color
combination each season. However,
experts explain that all the color
variations are based on the following

leaves their green color in spring and
summer—to break down and other
pigments to form in the leaves.
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

And why do leaves fall?
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.

Have all of the fun with none of the fuss—
Have a
sugar. Because trees need very cool
and dry temperatures to produce
sugar, these colors are mostly found
in New England’s trees, although
when weather conditions are right the
Northwest woods, blaze with the
colors of fall as well. Red maples,
which normally produce a lot of
sugar, usually have red and purple
leaves in autumn. 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.
