Live trees and shrubs can look quite different in infrared. The leaves reflect alot of the infrared back at my camera making them have a white glow to them.

The same happens with green light, it is rejected by the plant. Reflecting back at our eyes making plants appear green. They absorb all the other visible wavelengths for the plants metabolism. So the green and infrared are reflected back, making them have this look to them.
During the fall many of the trees are shedding their leaves, some hold on to them longer than others. Like the Sassafras tree they can stay on most of the winter.

In visible light, fall really shows. The plants are losing their ability to reflect green and infrared light, slowly drying out the plant and turning the leaves to a yellow color.
I hope you enjoyed the comparison, I took the comparison photos with my smart phone the alignment was not perfect. One day I may want to have a mount to have two cameras side by side.
I take pictures with a special Panasonic Lumix Camera. Its a Mirrorless DSLR camera that has been modified by LifePixel to see in other wavelengths. This allows my camera to capture light in the Infrared around 1300 nanometers wavelength, through the visual spectrum and into the Ultraviolet A and B wavelengths roughly into the 300 nanometers wavelength.
I carry dozens of filters on me to make the photos you see in my blog, these filters screw on my lens and help me isolate certain wavelengths for certain scenes. These filters can be IR / UV cut filters to help me get a natural photo taking out the Ultraviolet and Infrared light. Or I may use a Infrared pass-through filter capture just Infrared light. I can do the same with Ultraviolet light as well, though I need some better filters which they can cost a few hundred dollars for true Ultraviolet pass through filters. So for right now I have B+W 403 filters that still allow some IR light in, due to their cheaper material.
For more details on how I do my photography I have a video on that: https://steemit.com/photography/@solominer/vqgcrs3x
