The Missouri Department of Conservation encourages you to get outside and discover nature as you take in Missouri’s fall landscape.
As the heat of summer fads into the cool weather of fall, trees and shrubs around the show-me-state start their annual color display.
Chlorophyll makes a tree’s leaves green.
When the chlorophyll is done working for the season, the yellow, orange and red pigments already in the leaves are unmasked and shine through.
Color change is predictable, but varies year to year depending on weather.
This year’s fall color really should be pretty good.
We have the right conditions leading into this fall, so as long as the right weather conditions with shorter sunny days and cooler nights, we should have the great reds and yellows that we normally expect.”
Fall color typically peaks in mid-October.
