Carotenoids are the dominant pigment in coloration of about 15–30% of tree species. [6] Autumn leaf color is a phenomenon that affects the normally green leaves of many deciduous trees and shrubs by which they take on, during a few weeks in the autumn season, various shades of yellow, orange, red, purple, and brown.
In the fall, the leaves turn a mix of yellow, gold, and orange. [citation needed] The flowers are fragrant, white, produced in Wisteria-like racemes 15–30 cm long. Flowering is in early summer (June in its native region), and is variable from year to year, with heavy flowering every second or third year.
In the fall the leaves turn a bright yellow color. [3] [12] The leaf has a very short petiole 1 ⁄ 4 – 1 ⁄ 2 in (1–1 cm) long. The flowers are wind-pollinated catkins which open in later spring. [7] Both male and female flowers will occur on the same tree making the plant monoecious. The male catkins are 2–4 in (5–10 cm) long, yellow ...
The twigs are slender and often pendulous and the leaves are roughly triangular with doubly serrate margins and turn yellow and brown in autumn before they fall. The flowers are catkins and the light, winged seeds get widely scattered by the wind. The silver birch is a hardy tree, a pioneer species, and one of the first trees to appear on bare ...
The leaves are alternate, bipinnately compound leaves; with an ovate shape and a pinnate venation, they have a green color which turns yellow in fall, leavelets measuring between 5–10 cm long. The flowers are small and yellow with a touch of red at the base, with four petals, produced in large branched panicles that are 20–50 cm long. They ...

In the fields of horticulture and botany, the term deciduous (/ d ɪ ˈ s ɪ dʒ u. ə s /) [1] [2] means "falling off at maturity" [3] and "tending to fall off", [4] in reference to trees and shrubs that seasonally shed leaves, usually in the autumn; to the shedding of petals, after flowering; and to the shedding of ripe fruit.
It causes flower petals to quickly turn brown and drop, typically within 24 to 48 hours. Practice good sanitation to limit the spread of this disease. Collect and destroy all fallen flowers and as ...
