Garden Club Fall Leaf Color Fall just wouldn't be the same without all the wonderful color in the leaves. In certain areas of the United States, the color of the fall leaves has become a major tourist attraction.
Various factors contribute to the color that develops in leaves in the fall.
First of all, you have to select trees and shrubs that produce the colors you want. For peak color to develop, leaves require warm, sunny days, cool, frosty nights and adequate moisture. Occasionally, we will experience a fall that doesn't provide the necessary light frosts to develop color before a killing frost occurs. Once you have the right plant, the vividness of the color will be influenced by the weather. Some varieties of trees and shrubs are famous for their color.
