Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Trees that have lost all their leaves for part of the year are known as deciduous trees. Those are not called evergreen trees. Common deciduous trees in the Northern Hemisphere include ash, aspen, beech, birch, cherry, elm, hickory, hornbeam, maple, oak, poplar, and many species of willow.
Detailed explanation-2: -Deciduous trees shed their leaves to survive. Once the winter has passed, the soil loses most of its moisture content.
