Why are the fall colors in America more intense than in most europeen countries, i.e. Germany?

I live in Germany but used to visit the US frequently. The fall colors in the US always impressed me. I mean, obviously we have fall colors in Germany too. But they don’t compare, they seem more faded.

Edit: Talking about the trees! Didn’t specify, sorry!

It isn’t everywhere in the U.S. The really impressive colors are in New England and the northern Midwest. It’s just a combination of climate, the degree of how forested it is, and the variety of species there. For example, the [sugar maple](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acer_saccharum) turns very vivid red, and it’s only native to North America.
