Conifers do drop all their leaves when water is scarce. In addition, they lose their leaves in the fall when the weather changes.

Names of trees that do not lose their leaves in winter?

Evergreen, or coniferous.http://www.elmcare.com/trees/types_of_trees.htmTrees can also be divided into deciduous and coniferous categories.Deciduous trees are also known as broadleaf trees because the leaves are generally larger and wider than those of conifers. The larger leaf size means a greater surface area for photosynthesis, but it also mean the leaf is too fragile to withstand winter conditions. Therefore, most deciduous trees drop their leaves in autumn.Coniferous trees keep their leaves throughout the year, shedding only the oldest leaves. Usually these leaves are lower down on the tree and do not receive as much sunlight as newly developed leaves higher up. Some of the best-known members of the conifer family are pines, spruces, firs, and hemlocks. The cones of the conifers are its flowers.The coniferous trees mentioned above do not have leaves. Their foliage is needles. A sample of a tree that does not lose it's leaves in the fall is the Arbutus tree. This tree sheds it's bark which is used to make pharmaceuticals for the medical field.


Is it safe to grow conifers beside your house?

Conifers are plants like pine trees etc.These trees grow to quite a large height so it depends on how close to your house it is. I would advise not to plant it within 5meters of your house
