Maple leaves are among autumn's most iconic symbols, celebrated for their stunning seasonal color transformation. As temperatures drop and days shorten, the green chlorophyll in maple leaves breaks down, revealing brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows that had been hidden underneath. Native to North America and Asia, maples turn particularly spectacular in temperate climates, making them a beloved harbinger of fall and the subject of leaf-peeping traditions worldwide.
