Only the green parts of a plant photosynthesize. In fall and winter, there is much less area that photosynthesizes in trees with leaves... the green stems and branches do photosynthesize a slight amount. Evergreen trees, like pines and spruce, do not lose their leaves called needles but when the cold weather comes all biological processes slow down and so does the amount of photosynthesis.

Can photosynthesis occur in the winter?

What is called an organism that requires the consumption of other organisms for survival?

A heterotroph ('eating others'). This can mean the consumption of animals or plants (as both are organisms), and makes all animals, some plants (carnivorous or parasitic) and all fungi heterotrophs. 'Regular' photosynthesizing plants 'feed' off sunlight, making them autotrophs ('eating independently').

Where is winter garden?

You grow a winter garden, or plants suited to cold weather, in the same garden where you grow plants during the rest of the year. The difference is in the plant varieties you choose. Beets, broccoli, carrots, kale, peas, lettuce and spinach are some of the best for fall and winter growing.
