While on the cusp of winter, plants change and present a beautiful array of colors to enjoy before the cold season comes about. If you've noticed this year that our trees are looking prettier than ever, you are not alone.
Weather has a big part to play in the leaf cycle, which is why we've experienced exceptionally beautiful fall trees in Kansas City this season. The easy-going spring and comfortable summer weather complete with perfectly cool evenings has allowed the trees to produce their best foliage yet.
The cool weather permits a process that allows sugars to become trapped in the leaf along with chlorophyll that causes the green pigment. Deep red and purple colors come from the trapped sugars, while the yellow and orange colors are the result of the absence of chlorophyll production which ceases in the cool season.
Take advantage of this bountiful season by investing in care to maximize the life of your plants and foliage. While we can't control the weather, taking extra precautions to protect your trees can reduce the stress on the plant and lead to greater longevity.
