deciduous (dĭ-sĭj'ū-əs) adj. # Falling off or shed at a specific season or stage of growth: deciduous antlers; deciduous leaves; deciduous teeth. # Shedding or losing foliage at the end of the growing season: deciduous trees. # Not lasting; ephemeral.
Deciduous - means those trees that shed their leaves annually , as opposed to evergreen

It means falling off when grown and or tending to falloff. It is mostly used in reference to trees. Deciduous trees tend to lose their leaves when it gets colder. Then in spring it grows new ones.
