Hmmm … ”some trees produce red pigments as a kind of sunscreen, protecting leaves from sunlight while the tree stores nutrients”. For some reason – e.g., climate change – they need stronger sunscreen now, eh …?
Very interesting, it is probably happened something like that. We have had a windy, cold and rainy summer, but now just when the schools began, the weather turned dry and sunny.
Really beautiful colours on those leaves.
