Why do leaves change color throughout the year?

Picture
The Splendor of autumn
We can be in awe of the beauty of the colors that come out during the Fall. The miniature of purples, reds, yellows, and orange is a natural result of a process of chemical change that takes place in the plants as the season changes from winter to summer.
 When spring arrives, the leaves have served as factories where most of the nutrients and necessities for a tree’s growth are created. This process takes place due to the leaves numerous cells which contain chlorophyll, which give the leaves their green color. This extraordinary chemical process, absorbs the sunlight, and then turns it into energy that is used in transforming carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates, such as sugars and starch.
Picture
​Along with the green pigment is yellow to orange pigments, carotene's and xanthophylls pigments which, for example, give the orange color to a carrot, Most of the year these colors are masked by great amount of green coloring.
Other Changes Take Place To Trees and Their Leaves

As the fall colors in the leaves start to appear, other changes are taking place. Where the stem of the leaf is attached to the tree, a special layer of cells develop and gradually severs the tissues that support the leaf and causes the leaves to fall. At the same time, the tree seals the cut, so that when the leaf is finally blown off by the wind or falls from its own weight.
Picture
​Most of the broad-leaved trees in the North shed their leaves in the Fall, however, the dead brown leaves of the oaks and a few other species may stay on the tree until growth starts again in the Spring, leaving these trees very "branchy" and leafless. In the South however, where the winters are mild, some of the broad-leaved trees are evergreen; that is, the leaves stay on the trees during winter and keep their green color.

Do you have a problem with PEAR tree diseases?

Common Tree Diseases in Our Area Affecting your Fruit Trees

Fire Blight:
​

Fire blight, caused by the bacterium known as Erwinia amylovora, is the most devastating disease of pear trees. Fortunately for us, this disease is not a problem every year and, when it does occur, it is often isolated to specific geographical locations. However, when infection occurs, the disease develops quite rapidly and can destroy individual trees or even orchards in a single season.

Picture
The bacteria can survive the winter in old cankers on pears as well as other plants and even in healthy pear buds. This disease normally occurs in four phases: canker blight, blossom blight, shoot blight, and trauma blight. As the weather becomes favorable for growth in the spring, the bacteria will begin to multiply rapidly and can be seen oozing out of wood tissues. This creamy, bacterial ooze is attractive to insects and they pick it up and carry it to open flower buds where infection occurs. The bacteria is also carried by wind and rain to open pear blossoms. Infected tissues are characterized by their blackened, "burned" appearance, hence the name "fire blight."
​
​The most effective method for control of this disease is sanitation. Any cankered or infected branches or twigs should be cut back to healthy wood during dormant seasons. All pruning cuts should be made at least 8-12" below visible symptoms. All tools should be disinfected with 10% bleach (1 part bleach: 9 parts water) or 70% alcohol. Pruning should also be removed from the vicinity of the tree. In addition to these practices, it is important to scout for new infections and remove blighted tissues as soon as they appear. The effects of this disease can also be minimized by maintaining overall tree health by following proper cultural practices that avoid excessive vigor. Pear cultivars vary with regard to their overall susceptibility to fire blight, so "less susceptible" cultivars (e.g., Comice, Winter Nelis) can be selected for planting.
Picture
Fabraea Leaf Spot:

Fabraea leaf spot, also known as leaf blight and black spot, is caused by the fungus Fabraea maculata. This disease usually appears late in the growing season of Spring but can occasionally develop in late May or early June. Fabraea leaf spot attacks leaves, fruit, and twigs of pears. Symptoms first appear as brown to black spots on the leaves. Heavily infected leaves often yellow and drop prematurely. Severe defoliation can substantially reduce tree vigor and yield, especially if trees are defoliated several years in a row. 
Lesions on fruit appear similar to those on leaves but become slightly sunken as fruit expand. Severely infected fruit may also crack. Once established in a tree or planting, this disease is difficult to control since significant amounts of fungal inoculum overwinter on infected leaves. Spores of the fungus are normally spread by splashing rain and wind in the spring.


​Effective control includes a good sanitation program. Since overwintering infected leaves are a major source of spores in the spring, removal of all fallen leaves during the dormant season significantly reduces the chances for new infection. In addition, properly selected and timed fungicide sprays are important for disease control.
Pear Scab:
Pear Scab is caused by a fungus known as Venturia Pirina and is a disease that is very much a kin to apple scab. The fungus will develop circular, velvety, black spots on leaves, fruit, and sometimes twig like flakes. As these lesions start to age, they appear gray and the skin starts to crack. This fungus spreads over the Winter from dead leaves and produces spores in the Spring that easily spread with water during the rain. These spores usually can infect any pear tree. The time can vary from May to June depending on when your trees start to bear fruit and the weather conditions are right. This can be a revolving door if not treated and another rain cycle could easily infect other trees.

​We found to effectively control the disease. A good sanitation program, removing diseased leaves and fruit, and hauling it away from the vicinity of the tree or trees, will significantly reduce the sources of inoculum during the Spring and Summer. Scab can also be reduced by properly selected and timed fungicide spray. (we recommend using an arborist, as too much fungicide can have a negative effect on the trees or plants around).
