No.
There are two major types of trees: Deciduous and evergreens. Evergreens are trees, which keep their leaves all year long. Pine, cedar, and other coniferous (producing cones) trees are evergreens with needles instead of leaves. They are the most common evergreens in Maryland. Deciduous trees lose their leaves during the fall and grow them back in the spring.
Evergreen trees keep their leaves/needles over the winter months. Deciduous trees lose their leaves during the winter months.
Resin is a waxy substance that gymnosperms secrete in their resin canals that act as an anti-freeze for the plants. This is why gymnosperms are the evergreen trees and they do not lose their needles.
Deciduous trees such as Oak, Ash and Birch loose their leaves during the winter. Evergreen trees such as Holly, Pines and Firs keep their leaves (or needles) all year round.
All trees and shrubs that do not loose their leaves, foliage or needles are Evergreen. Many many many types of Evergreens : just three are Holy, Pine, Cyprus....anyone else care to add? the list is long...... Conifers, pines, firs, evergreens. Answer. We need to be careful here. All trees and shrubs, even evergreens, lose their leaves as the leaf's life cycle is completed. This happens thro'out the year with evergreens. Deciduous trees and shrubs lose all foliage in the Autumn.

evergreen?
Needles (rather than leaves) and cones are characteristic of evergreen trees.
Deciduous trees are trees that lose their leaves. Trees that don't lose their leaves are "Evergreens". Evergreen trees have needles, instead of flat leaves, to survive winter hardship. Needles cut evaporation so trees can save water - dear in the winter. Not all trees that bear needles are evergreen, for example the larch drops it's needles in the Autumn.

Their 'leaves' are green needles that are 'ever green'.
Coniferous trees do not lose their needles because they are called "evergreen" trees which means the tree stays green for ever!
Pine trees are considered an evergreen. They shed needles like other trees lose their leaves, but never all of them and only after the second growing year. Hence the name evergreen.
Evergreen refers to trees that normally retain most of their foliage (needles) through the winter. Trees that do shed their leaves are known as deciduous.
Unlike, other pine trees, their needles actually don't fall off! :)
Evergreen Pine trees do not have leaves,the are pine needles and the shape of the tree helps it to shed snow.
