Wha kind of trees lose their leaves in the autumn?

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.

Fallen leaves on a lawn need raking during Fall. Fallen leaves get caught in a gutter may cause problem during snow melt. A tree, dead or alive, is very expensive to be removed by a professional. Other than these human-induced scenarios, the trees are very beneficial.
