Why do the leaves change color?? Now I remember!!

Why do the leaves change color?

Trees are a natural food factory. The water from the ground is soaked up by the roots and then carbon dioxide is taken from the air. Plants and trees use sunlight and water to turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. This is all part of the process of photosynthesis which means “putting together with light.” Add to this the chemical Chlorophyll and that is what makes a leaf or plant green.

As the days grow shorter the sunlight decreases and there is not enough water or light for the process of photosynthesis to occur. This means that the trees rest and live off the food they stored during the summer. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. As the green fades that is why you see the bright reds and yellows of fall.

Invasion of the Aphids!! Damage alert!

Here is one of over 20 insect pests that contribute to health decline and death of many of the trees in the United States. They cause major tree health problems and death. These insects are the cause of significant replacement expense of yard trees and the commercial expense of future losses of forest products.

Leaf-feeding aphids are usually not damaging but large populations cause leaf changes and stunting of shoots. Aphids also produce large quantities of a sticky exudate known as honeydew, which often turns black with the growth of a sooty mold fungus. Some aphid species inject a toxin into plants, which further distorts growth. So if you see one or even suspect these pests are around call us!

Here are some examples of the damage aphids can do and what they look like close up!
