Certain types of trees, known as deciduous trees, have leaves which will not survive the cold of winter, and therefore, the tree withdraws useful minerals from the leaves in the fall, so that those minerals will not be lost when the leaves die and fall off the tree. It is a process of nutritional conservation. The change in the chemical composition of the leaves causes a corresponding change in color.

What seasonal change causes deciduous trees to lose their leaves in the fall?

The decrease in sunlight and cooler temperatures that occur in the fall signal deciduous trees to stop producing chlorophyll, the pigment that gives leaves their green color. As chlorophyll breaks down, other pigments like carotenoids and anthocyanins become visible, causing the leaves to change color and eventually fall off.

Why do only some trees have leaves that change color?

Leaves change color because the trunk of the tree stops sending nutrients and water and other chemicals to the leaves. In the winder, the tree keeps all the nutrients inside and doesn't have the energy to keep feeding the leaves, so they change color and die and fall off. Trees with leaves that do not change color just means that they don't have this process and are most likely in a warmer climate or survive much better in cold
