All their living energy draws down into their roots. Spring thaw brings it all back.
trees lose their leaves because the sun gives them chlorophyll. without chlorophyll, the leaves die and drop off.
Yes, orange trees are evergreen.Evergreen plants have foliage which remains green throughout the year. Old leaves die and are shed, new leaves grow, but the plant remains continually green, hence the name, evergreen.See link below for further information on orange trees.
Yes, there are evergreen fruit trees.All citrus trees such as lemon, orange, grapefruit, kumquat and so on, are evergreen. Many other fruiting trees are evergreen, such as mango trees and many nut trees.Evergreen plants have foliage which remains green throughout the year. Old leaves die and are shed, new leaves grow, but the plant remains continually green, hence the name, evergreen.
The yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis) is deciduous.
Yes.
Evergreen trees have needles instead of broad leaves because needles have a smaller surface area, reducing water loss due to transpiration. This adaptation allows evergreen trees to conserve water and continue photosynthesis throughout the year, even in cold or dry conditions.
Most deciduous trees lose their leaves in Autumn . . . trees like maples, linden trees, elm trees; however, oddly enough, many oak trees do not lose their leaves in Autumn. The leaves turn colors, and then die and turn brown. The dead leaves take their time to drop off. In my area, some oaks still have their dead leaves as late as early Spring.
Leaves change color because the trunk of the tree stops sending nutrients and water and other chemicals to the leaves. In the winder, the tree keeps all the nutrients inside and doesn't have the energy to keep feeding the leaves, so they change color and die and fall off. Trees with leaves that do not change color just means that they don't have this process and are most likely in a warmer climate or survive much better in cold
The Chloroplasts in the leaves die.
In The Spring Leaves Grow In The Summer Leaves get darker In The Fall Leaves Turn Orange And Die And In The Winter Trees With Now Leaves They Grow As They Change
The trees do not die, they become dormant. They will regrow leaves and bloom in the Spring.
In general all trees sprout new growth come early spring. And some trees gain new leaves after being bare over the winter. Evergreen trees like firs get new growth of needles. And even other trees will burst into bloom, like the Japanese Cherry Trees that are so famous for their pink flowers. Not much happens during the summer. Bot some of the trees that bloomed during the spring start to develop fruit where their flowers once were. The fruit ripens during the summer months and typically are ready for picking by the last month of summer early month of autumn. During late autumn the leaves of the deciduous trees change from green to multiple colors (red, yellow) and eventually fall off leaving the trees bare again for the winter. The evergreens stay green and do not lose their needles, but they do go dormant to conserve energy. During the winter months all trees lie dormant for the most part. The notable exceptions are tropical trees like palm trees, fig trees, and fern trees that stay green and active in the tropical parts of the world.
