Fall Leaves: The Inside Story


OK, night is taking over. We're dialing down the photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, that means you fade into the sunset, buddy. Take a break. Go be your green self in Palm Springs.

Of course, carotenoids, with chlorophyll fading out, you'll be center stage. Get ready for it. We want stunning yellows and golds and you're the only ones for this job. Shine like the summer sun!

Anthocyanins, get in there with your reds and purples. Should be a good year for you, with those extra sunny days. That sugar stuck in the leaves is all yours.

That's it for now. We'll tell you when to drop. Thanks.
