Shedding leaves is a survival strategy. Winter brings less sunlight and frozen water, making it too hard and energy-expensive for broad-leafed trees to keep their leaves alive. By cutting off the supply to each leaf with a special layer of cells called the abscission layer, the tree saves energy and prevents heavy winter snow from snapping its branches.

The vibrancy, timing, and mix of autumn leaf colors change every year because they depend heavily on the weather and moisture leading up to the season.

When summer shifts to fall, the days become shorter, so trees get less direct sunlight. This signals to green plants that it's time to stop converting sunlight into sugar. When this process halts, chlorophyll starts to break down, which causes the green color to vanish and the yellow and orange shades (which were hidden in the warmer months) to surface. Red leaves, on the other hand, function a little differently: Without getting all technical, a chemical change produces a new red pigment that didn't exist during the growing season.
