No.
The opposite of deciduous is "evergreen." Evergreen trees and plants retain their leaves or needles throughout the year, unlike deciduous trees that shed their leaves annually.
A type of forest with trees that do not lose their leaves is called an evergreen forest. These forests are characterized by trees that keep their leaves or needles throughout the year, providing a continuous canopy of greenery. Examples of trees found in evergreen forests include pine, spruce, and fir.
Most deciduous trees do this. Some will hang on to their dead leaves through the winter and drop them in the spring. Deciduous trees are trees like oak and maple, leaf-bearing trees as opposed to evergreens.
An evergreen tree, pine, christmas, you get the picture.
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.

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.

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.
