The leaves are actually red, yellow, and brown all year long but due to the green chlorophyll, they present in green most of the time. When there is less sunlight and the weather starts to cool down, tree growth slows and with it the green chlorophyll, the Farmer’s Almanac said.  

Happy Fall Y’all!
