Did you know why leaves are changed his color in autumn?
Some trees keep their withered leaves until spring. Many other trees shed their leaves in autumn, extracting as many nutrients from the leaves as possible.
In autumn, the tree begins to break down and store the chlorophyll. Now other colors appear, yellowish and reddish carotenes. Depending on the concentration of the pigments, the leaves look more yellow or brown.
