Fall Promises Vivid Colors
By KIM D. CODER
NATURE'S PALLET will be loaded
with bright colors again this fall, The ex
tended spring and summer drought, coupl
ed with some fall rains and projected nor
mal weather patterns, will cooperate to pro
duce above average tree colors, We should
have about three or four weeks of outstan
ding viewing in Chattooga Count,y with
peai viewing time in the north Georgia
mountains around Oct. 20.
Some drought-stressed trees will lose
their leaves quickly after turning color.
Throughout LLe forest, colors wifi last a
shorter time than normal hecause of this
fast leaf drop. Also, if we have warm night
temperatures and a lot of rainfall this 1%11.
we'li see poorer colors,
THE REDS, oranges and yellows
should be bright. Purples should be much
more prominent this year. There should be
a variety of color contrast all over north
Georfzia. Viewing should be good to
excellent.
Leaf color formation is a natural pro
cess in the tree. A tree makes a living by
cai)turing sunlight in chlorophyll nets. The
chlorophyll nets and supporting chemical
systems of most hardwood species must be
sfiut down for winter. Shutting down the
leaves reveals the many colors of fall.
THROUGHOUT the year, a tree
“reads” the environment. A tree compares
what is happening in the evironment with
what its genetic material tells it to do.
When the dz\fis become short enough,
many changes begin to occur. Leaves begin
a step-by-step process of decline and death
cal]eg senescence, which breaks down leaf
materials and moves those materials out
of the leaf,
Senescence sets the color patterns in
trees. The growing season weather srong
ly influences color development. The best

and brightest colors nccur when there are
cool bug not freezing temperatures, bright
sunlight with few clouds, and slight
drought conditions.
WITH SENESCENCE, the green
chlorophyll nets breakdown, unmasking
other iqments in the leaf. The variation
in leaf%o or depends upon the amount and
type of pigments present, and the amount
of sugar and phosphate in the leaves.
One color set is anthocyanin, which q‘ro
duces reds, purples, blues and pinks. The
specific color produced depends upon the
sugar content and acidity of the leaf cells.
Large sugar contents are needed for best
color. If the leaf cells are acidic, the pig
ment color is red. If the cells are more
basic, the pigment color is blue. Cells
become more acidic as senescence con
tinues so the pigment color becomes more
red. The anthocyanins help color oak,
sweetgum, maple, sourwood, dogwood,
o tupelo and periimmgn. 2
XYTHOPHYLLS and carotenoids are
pigments that produce yellows and
oranges. Senescence reveals these
pigments arid causes production of new
pifments. The brilliant yellow and orange
colors occur in cherry, ash, hickories,
maple, yellow-poplar, asgen. birch,
sycamore, cottonwood, sassafras, buckeye
and alder.
Combinations of carotenoids and brown
oak tanningafiroduce the bright yellow
browns in s. Combinations of antho
cyanins and carotenoids produce the deep
oranges, bright reds, and bronzes found in
sassafrass, maples, oaks, basswoods,
beech, elm, hackberry, walnut, hickory and
chestnut.
AS FALL PROGRESSES, the last
pigments start to fade. The leaves are then
sealed off from the rest of the tree. Even
as this dyear’s leaves are being raked up,
tree buds have next year's leaves set up to
firow. Fall colors represent not a last gasp,
ut a first breath of a new spring.

Clark, C(Latbooga County Extension agent.
