DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Evergreen trees do not lose their leaves like deciduous trees do. They stay green for 12 months of the year so that they can continue photosynthesis all year. There are many types of evergreens, including pines, cypress, redwood, holly, live oaks, juniper, palms, spruce, cedar, and hemlock.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most deciduous trees either lose all or most of their leaves during the winter. In extreme cases, certain deciduous trees keep all of their leaves during the winter as they go through a longer process of decay. This includes trees like oak, beech, ironwood, hornbeam, witch hazel, and frailejones.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most deciduous trees lose their leaves in the fall, and most coniferous trees don’t.

Detailed explanation-4: -The leaves of these trees are either small and needle-like or scale-like and most stay green all year around(evergreen). All are softwoods and are able to survive cold temperatures and acidic soil. Hence the tress in the coniferous forests do not shed their leaves altogether.
