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.
