Katsura, Cercidiphyllum japonicum.
​​Have you have ever wondered why leaves change colour in the fall? And how do they know when to shed their foliage? This splendid rite of autumn, comes about because of the short warm days and long cool nights. Deciduous trees and shrubs prepare for winter by reducing their intake of nutrients and water. They also store food in their stems and roots. This combination of reduced light and no nutrients kills any green pigment (chlorophyll) whilst preventing more from forming. As the green fades, other hidden colours that existed within the foliage are revealed. These pigments, anthocyanin (red) and carotene (yellow) become visible and colourful leaves are revealed. The sunnier the fall, the more vivid the colours.
