Speaking of maple leaves, you must think of Canada, a country where even the national flag is maple leaves, known as "the land of maple leaves".
Canada's best time to watch maple leaves is no more than 2 weeks.
Maple leaves in northern Canada have changed color since mid-September, and the peak is about the last week of September-the first week of October.
The best time for maple leaves in southern Canada is about mid-October.
If there are no special circumstances, in early November, Canadian maple leaves have fallen too much to watch, just a rain or a wind.
Maple leaves will fall very fast.

Why do maple leaves turn red?
From its own point of view, the leaves show red mainly depends on two substances, one is carotene, the orange-red pigment commonly found in chloroplasts.
The other is anthocyanin, which exists in the cell fluid in the vacuole.
When the cell fluid is alkaline, the anthocyanin is blue-purple, and when the cell fluid is acidic, the anthocyanin is red.
After the beginning of autumn, the anthocyanins in the leaves of Codonopsis lanceolata increased, and the drop in temperature made the destruction of chlorophyll disappear.
So the green leaves turned red.
There are also temperature reasons.
When the temperature drops rapidly to a certain extent, and the temperature at night is much lower than that during the day, the leaves have not yet withered, and most of the chlorophyll has been destroyed.
At the same time, the increase in the temperature difference between day and night also contributes to the formation of anthocyanins, so the leaves turn red quickly.
If the temperature drops slowly, and the temperature difference between day and night is small, the chlorophyll has not been destroyed and the tree has withered, it will not become beautiful red leaves.
