Some trees lose their leaves because they go to sleep for the winter, like a cozy blanket. Other trees stay awake all year and keep their green clothes on. Trees that lose leaves are called deciduous, it means 'they decide' to change with the seasons. Trees that never lose their leaves are called evergreen, they're always ready for the cold!
Examples
- A maple tree drops its leaves like a person shedding their coat in winter.
- Pine trees stay green all year, just like the evergreen plants in your garden.
- An oak tree loses its leaves when it gets cold, but a fir stays full of needles.
