Every year, we see the green of our trees’ leaves retreat into their branches, leaving a slew of colors, signaling the arrival of autumn. Trees and woody-stemmed plants come in all forms, shapes and sizes, with each having its own unique features. They present a beautiful mosaic in our forests as the season’s change and they mature. Aside from the aesthetic value we gain through these woody plants’ life cycles, they provide a much larger benefit to society.
