The fall season causes the tree to lose its leaves during the cooler months because the tree is becoming dormant. The name of a tree that becomes dormant during the fall and winter are called deciduous.

Not all leaves do. Some deciduous trees do lose their leaves in the winter. This is to conserve energy because there is not as much sunlight or daytime in the winter as there are in other parts of the year, so the tree basically hibernates during winter. The tree stops sending sap to the leaves, and they dry up and snap off in the wind, and that's why they fall.
