Read all about the chemistry of changing leaves as well as the best places in Texas to view fall foliage.  Just imagine the cooler weather and colorful leaves to come&#8230;ahhh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net\/20251105\/92\/76\/7c\/a4\/5a8f68171ba3cd85f1993462.gif\" alt=\"Texas A&amp;M Forest Service Communications Office header\"><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">The magic and chemistry of fall foliage color, November 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">COLLEGE STATION, Texas \u2013 The transition of trees\u2019 colors from lush green to a variety of warm tones annually marks the changing of seasons, often inducing strong anticipation for a chance to catch a glimpse of the magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Chemistry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While fall colors appear as magic to our eyes, it is really a product of color and chemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trees\u2019 leaves contain pigments that play critical biological roles while also reflecting colors like green, yellow, orange and even brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDuring a tree\u2019s growing months, chlorophyll dominates the color makeup of the leaf, creating various shades of green,\u201d said Kimberlee Peterson, Texas A&amp;M Forest Service Woodland Ecologist. \u201cBeyond its color and perception to the human eye, chlorophyll is an essential molecule in the photosynthesis process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As heat stress or cool temperatures occur, the chlorophyll and green appearance of leaves are destroyed, allowing other pigments to emerge. Although these pigments begin to appear under changes in the environmental conditions, they were present in the leaf all along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When pigments such as carotenes, xanthophyll and anthocyanin emerge, they often create the notable fall colors of red, orange, yellow, crimson and purple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some Texas-native species contain anthocyanin, a key compound in shading chlorophyll later in the growing season to prevent excessive light energy absorption. The formation of this pigment is dependent on an accumulation of carbohydrates in the tree, the genetic properties of the tree and environmental factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Texas-native trees containing anthocyanin include sassafras, sweetgum, bigtooth maple, red oak, Tupelo and sumac. The fall colors produced by anthocyanin are often more vibrant because the red pigment is intentionally produced to block sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some trees do not contain anthocyanin but instead have carotenoids which are responsible for helping trees absorb light energy for dormancy and protect leaves from sun damage after the photosynthesis process is complete in autumn. They can create red, orange and occasionally yellow pigments in the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carotene and xanthophyll are subcategories of carotenoids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carotenes produce fall colors of red, orange and occasionally yellow. Texas-native trees like black hickory, pecan and elm have contain levels of carotene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Xanthophyll typically produces yellow and orange pigments; however, red, pink and purple pigments may also develop. Texas-native trees like ash, American beech and river birch contain high levels of xanthophyll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Timing and conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As any fall color enthusiast knows, a tree\u2019s fall colors are never promised\u2014some years they may produce a swatch of perfect mosaic patterns while other years they suddenly drop their leaves with little to no transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFall colors are nearly unpredictable,\u201d said Peterson. \u201cThe destruction of chlorophyll and transition into the emergence of fall pigments closely depends on environmental factors including temperature, light and water. Fall colors can even be influenced by environmental factors from six to nine months prior to fall.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where to see fall colors in Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Texas\u2019 fall may not resemble that of an east coast fall, there are still many opportunities to view trees\u2019 chemical magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEast Texas is characterized by soft and hardwood trees, which can offer a patchwork of fall colors,\u201d said Peterson. \u201cCentral Texas water basins, however, are comprised of bald cypress, cottonwood and sycamore trees, which often display a more unified transition to fall.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Texans farther west, Peterson recommends destinations such as the Lost Maples State Natural Area, home to a protected stand of Uvalde bigtooth maples. As of Oct. 31, 2025, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department reported that fall colors will emerge at the Lost Maples State Natural Area soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the rest of the country is at or past its peak fall, Texas\u2019 peak fall foliage remains one of the latest in the nation. <a href=\"https:\/\/smokymountains.com\/fall-foliage-map\" data-type=\"link\"

Option 1<\/strong> &#8211; This is a parking lane at the intersection of Greensboro Drive and Albright Drive, Plano, TX 75025.
