Trees and Autumn 5 (5/6)

The palette of colors we enjoy in autumn also depends on the weather and humidity of the soil. Cold weather and clear days give more time to anthocyanins, but early drops of temperatures below zero lead to an early break in their synthesis process and a shorter time to enjoy the colors of autumn. Dry time helps to increase the concentration of sugars in the residual leaf juices and also increases the production of anthocyanins.
