When leaves change color are they still performing photosynthesis?
While there are leaves that perform photosynthesis and are not green in color, when the leaves of any deciduous plant change color it is part of a process in which decreasing sunlight triggers a decrease in chlorophyll levels as the plant transitions into dormancy for the winter. As such the leaves perform steadily less and less photosynthesis as they change color, finally stopping entirely after they detach from the plant.
