It's not on earth, that's for sure. Trees don't just wake up and decide, "welp, I'm going to be red."

Did you ask them?

Yeah. They said, "leaf me alone and go away."

They sure seem to do that every year

If it were a choice you'd probably see some rebels that just stayed green all year.

Yeah, I've seen some that stay ever green.

Those still cannot choose to turn red though... It depends on the species.

Alright so basically you're saying trees can turn any color they like by choice at any time. No matter which species. They'll basically change into a color changing species if they want to?

Otherwise I cannot make sense of this. The fact that pinus sylvestris stays green is answered by some coniferen that change colors.

Yeah they're fickle little sluts

When it does finally get cool enough at night for that change to trigger, yes

Round here they get vaguely yellow for about two days and then all the leaves immediately fall off.

For the tree in my mothers backyard, that was about three days after the last leaf pickup of the year.
