When a banana begins to ripen, the peel begins to change color. It changes from green to yellow to brown. The same occurs with autumn leaves. The green leaves change from green to red and yellow and orange and eventually brown.
Autumn leaves and ripening bananas have in common the ability to change colors even though the plant is not considered dead. Bananas turn black after they are too ripe and leaves can still change colors after they fall to the ground.
Ipil-ipil leaves are known to release ethylene gas, a plant hormone that triggers fruit ripening. Ethylene acts as a signaling molecule in the fruit to initiate processes like starch breakdown and pigment production, leading to quicker ripening.
