Trees tend to be long-lived, some reaching several thousand years old. Scientists estimate there are some three trillion mature trees in the world.

Trees are an evolutionary adaptation found in different groups of plants: by growing taller, trees are able to compete better for sunlight. Trees have been in existence for 370 million years.
Lane Tech College
With an estimated 60,000 - 100,000 species, the number of trees worldwide might total 25% of all living plant species.
Calvary Catholic Cemetery
Wood gives structural strength to the trunk of most types of tree; this supports the plant as it grows larger. The vascular system of trees allows water, nutrients and other chemicals to be distributed around the plant, and without this vascular system, trees would not be able to grow as large as they do.

Trees are either evergreen, having foliage that persists and remains green throughout the year, or deciduous, shedding their leaves at the end of the growing season and then having a dormant period without foliage.
Rosehill Cemetery
Leaves are structures specialized for photosynthesis and are arranged on the tree in such a way as to maximize their exposure to light without shading each other.
Bohemian National Cemetery
Trees have evolved leaves in a wide range of shapes and sizes, in response to environmental pressures including climate and predation. The needles of coniferous trees are compact but are structurally similar to those of broad-leaved trees.
Bohemian National Cemetery
Broad-leaved trees in temperate regions deal with winter weather by shedding their leaves. When the days get shorter and the temperature begins to decrease, the leaves no longer make new chlorophyll and the red and yellow pigments already present in the blades become apparent.

Thank you for a terrific series. I love the bright orange-tan colors of the leaves. It’s a toss up between number one and number four that get my vote. I’m partial to number one.

Very nice shots! I love the fall trees, but there is something so interesting about the trees once they lose their leaves.

Thank you Irvingite Charles, Gary, Jbravi, Joe, Steve, Rashid Abdu, ejpeters! As I made the rounds in Chicago this fall, I started to stake out certain trees in the hope to catch them at their peak. Alas, one night of rain and a tree where the light wasn't right the day before would be nude of leaves on the next visit. Glad you enjoyed what I could find, thank you.

Excellent series and and like your explanations of the trees! Thanks for sharing.😊

Thank you merrytexan, tcthome, Moondoggie! I didn't know until researching that the tree leave colors are always there, just covered by the green of the chlorophyll.
