Firs do always shed about 50% of their leaves iin autumn, to cope with threatening winter conditions (high winds, heavy snow loading). I see our Thujas do it. It's how that lovely bouncy carpet arrives in pine forests' floors.

Difference between decidous and evergreen trees?
The difference between deciduous trees and fir trees is that deciduous trees lose their leaves while fir trees do not. Deciduous trees usually lose their leaves during winter, but some in the tropics lose their leaves during the dry season.
What trees don't lose there leaves in winter?
Coniferous (conifer) trees such as pines, spruces, cedars and fir trees do not loose their leaves (needles or scale like leaves). Think Christmas trees. Some conifers such as the Larch do lose their needles in winter. Trees that do not lose their leaves in winter are called evergreens.
Why are fir trees called fir trees?
because they dont realy have leaves and they look fury.
What are some tree that do not loses there leaves in the winter?
Conifers such as the western white pine may keep the same needles for as long as 4 years. Others, like the redwood, sequoia, spruce, hemlock and fir, will not drop their foliage when it turns cold. Different trees that have leaves also follow suit, maintaining their leaves despite the turning of the pages on the calendar. I hope this helps!
What types of tree are their?
There are hundreds of different species of trees, but all these species either fall into the categorization of Coniferous or Deciduous. Coniferous trees have oily leaves or needles and remain green throughout the winter. Species of coniferous trees include, pine, cedar, and fir. Most Coniferous trees are softwood. Deciduous trees have large leaves, which they shed in the winter. Species of deciduous trees include, maple, oak, and cherry. Most of these trees are hardwood.
What trees are not a deciduous tree?
Evergreen trees keep their leaves in winter. These are pine trees, fir trees, redwoods, spruces, and the like. Also two kinds of oak trees keep their leaves in winter, live oaks and water oaks. Some species closely related to the oaks also do, camellias, azaleas, and rhododendron.

What are the properties of fir wood?
It comes from deciduous trees and therefore loses its leaves in the winter and the trees are typically broadleafed. Hardwoods are typically denser and grow slower than softwoods, and usually have an open grain--like oak and ash, but can be closed grain-like maple and poplar. Hardwoods are typically not a knotty as softwoods, so have straighter, cleaner grain patterns. There are exceptions of course. Both balsa and English brown oak are considered hardwoods and both are soft enough to damage with bare hands.
Different types of hardwoods and soft woods?
Oak, maple, hickory, ash, red gum (eucalyptus) and (believe it or not) balsa are hardwoods. Pine, spruce, fir, larch, and cypress are softwoods
