What trees blush in the fall?

Probably all of you know that the leaves at the beginning of their life cycle are green, the cause of which is such an important substance found in plants like chlorophyll.

The content of red and yellow pigment in plants is constant, but due to the large amount of chlorophyll it is difficult to "manifest itself", due to which the leaves are green. But when the pigment is no longer produced for photosynthesis, the leaves gradually begin to change their color.
According to biologists, the cause of the yellow and red color is the pigment called the anthocyanin.
Typically, in autumn, such trees as rowan, maple, aspen and cherry blossoms are reddened.
