autumn foliage
Seasonal leaf display
Autumn foliage is the leaves of trees and shrubs as they change color in fall—the yellows, oranges, and reds that appear before the leaves drop.
The term often describes the collective display across a landscape: We drove through Vermont to see the autumn foliage.
Peak foliage season draws tourists to New England and other temperate regions.
