Why Some Trees Skip Fall Colors
• Some trees skip vibrant fall colors due to a lack of specific pigments or the inability to produce them under certain conditions.
• Oak trees often turn brown in the fall due to high tannin levels, while tree health and weather stress can also inhibit vibrant coloration.
• Sunny days and cool nights favor the production of red pigments (anthocyanins), while cloudy weather or warm temperatures can lead to brown leaves.
