1. Composting fall leaves is an excellent way to improve yard and garden soils. Mixing green and brown materials together is the basic rule.
2. Most leaves fall from trees because the ends of the branch are sealed off near the leaf stem to protect the tree through the long winter months.
3. Fall days become shorter and many plants stop making food. That is when the green chlorophyll starts to disappear from the leaves.
4. Fall colors are best when late summer is dry and autumn has bright sunny days and cool nights bellow 40 degrees F.
5. Maples, Oaks, Elms, Birch and Ash trees are just a few of the trees that give spectacular colors during the Autumn season.
