Why do leaves fall in autumn?
Why do leaves fall in autumn?
Because they’re tired of hanging around.
Why else?
Because it’s finally time to leaf the group chat.
Or maybe…
They’re just trying to “branch out” before winter hits.
Leaves dropping isn’t just poetic — it’s survival. Trees shut down chlorophyll (the green stuff), which lets those wild reds, oranges, and yellows show through. Translation: nature does its own mood board every October, then ghosts us until spring.

Informational: The Science behind Fall Colors
Ever wonder why the trees suddenly decide to cosplay in red, orange, and yellow every October? It’s all about chlorophyll — the green pigment that powers photosynthesis.
In spring and summer, chlorophyll dominates, keeping leaves green. But when days get shorter and temps drop, trees shut down chlorophyll production like a tired boss closing Slack. With the green gone, other pigments show up:
- Carotenoids → yellow, orange, and brown 🍂
- Anthocyanins → red and purple 🍇
The mix of these pigments is what gives us the jaw-dropping color palettes (and Instagram backdrops) we call fall foliage.
