in the fall the air is getting colder. so the clorophyll in the leaves, which is what makes them green, goes back in the tree and gets ready for winter. since the leaves dont have any clorophyll they turn the color that it would have been before the clorophyll was deposited in the first place. then they fall off. In the spring, the clorophyll that was frozen in the trees turn into new leaves.

∙ 8y agoTrees are sensitive to the presence of two forms of infrared light of differing wavelength. One form is strongest while the sun is in the sky and another form is strongest at night.
As day length shortens the prevalence of the second form in the 24 hour cycle triggers the process of leaf abscission.
You may notice that the leaves of treas in close proximity to a street light will stay on the tree after other leaves have fallen. This is because for a time the streetlight provides the "day" component of light.
