🍂 Why leaves change color in the fall:
.
During the growing season (spring and summer), chlorophyll is continually being produced and broken down, making tree leaves appear green. As night length increases in the fall, chlorophyll production slows down, eventually stopping all chlorophyll production and processing.
.
Carotenoids and anthocyanin that are present in leaves are then revealed, giving leaves the red, orange, and yellow hues we associate with fall in the Midwest.
