Summer Adaptations

Plants develop drought-resistant features such as waxy leaves and deep roots.

Some species go dormant to conserve energy during intense heat and dry conditions.

Autumn Color Shifts

Leaf color changes and seed dispersal prepare the bush for cooler months.

Falling leaves enrich the soil and support ecosystem cycles.

Winter Resilience
