A Boy, a Giant Pumpkin, and Autumn Leaves

The boy wears a long-sleeved shirt and pants as he stands in front of the pumpkin. A short stem rises from the top of the huge fruit, while many veined leaves surround both the child and the pumpkin. The scene brings together a remarkably large harvest find and one of the most familiar sights of fall.

Surprising Facts About Pumpkins in Fall

Pumpkins grow on sprawling vines and rest on the ground as they become larger. Autumn leaves change color when shorter days and cooler conditions cause their green chlorophyll to break down, revealing yellow and orange pigments that were already present.

Colors Found on Pumpkins and Autumn Leaves

  • Ripe pumpkin skin: orange, although some varieties are white, yellow, or green
  • Pumpkin stem: green while growing, often turning tan or brown after harvest
  • Autumn leaves: yellow, orange, red, russet, or brown depending on the tree
  • Leaf veins: usually similar to the leaf color, sometimes slightly darker
  • Boy's shirt and pants: clothing can be made in almost any color

Questions and Answers

How can a pumpkin become so large?
Its leaves use sunlight to make energy, while its roots absorb water and nutrients. Some pumpkin varieties have been bred to produce especially large fruit when given plenty of room and careful attention.
Why do pumpkins have deep grooves?
A pumpkin develops in sections called ribs as it grows. Their depth and shape vary among different varieties.
Do all fallen leaves turn brown right away?
No. Many leaves first appear yellow, orange, or red before they dry further and become brown.
