Some trees have yellow leaves in summer because of a process called chlorosis, which occurs when the tree lacks certain nutrients like iron or magnesium. This can cause the leaves to turn yellow instead of staying green.

Why didn't the leaves fall off my maple tree?

Deciduous trees - that is, trees that drop their leaves annually - have many different pigments in the leaves. During the growing season, the chlorophyll (the green pigment) is dominant. Chlorophyll reacts with water and sunlight to generate energy for the plant. In the autumn, when the trees go dormant, the chlorophyll breaks down. The other pigments were in the leaves all along, just "hidden" by the chlorophyll. When the green pigment breaks down, the other colors become visible. The color that the leaves turn depends on the species of the tree. Maples turn scarlet or yellow, oaks turn a bronze-brown shade, aspens and birches bright gold, and so on.

Why do trees shed their leaves in autumn?

In general all trees sprout new growth come early spring. And some trees gain new leaves after being bare over the winter. Evergreen trees like firs get new growth of needles. And even other trees will burst into bloom, like the Japanese Cherry Trees that are so famous for their pink flowers. Not much happens during the summer. Bot some of the trees that bloomed during the spring start to develop fruit where their flowers once were. The fruit ripens during the summer months and typically are ready for picking by the last month of summer early month of autumn. During late autumn the leaves of the deciduous trees change from green to multiple colors (red, yellow) and eventually fall off leaving the trees bare again for the winter. The evergreens stay green and do not lose their needles, but they do go dormant to conserve energy. During the winter months all trees lie dormant for the most part. The notable exceptions are tropical trees like palm trees, fig trees, and fern trees that stay green and active in the tropical parts of the world.
