Firs do always shed about 50% of their leaves iin autumn, to cope with threatening winter conditions (high winds, heavy snow loading). I see our Thujas do it. It's how that lovely bouncy carpet arrives in pine forests' floors.

Some trees that remain green all winter in temperate climates include evergreen conifers such as pine, spruce, and fir trees.

What is the differences between fir tree and a oak tree?

Firs are evergreens, have needles, produce cones (like pinecones) for reproduction, and are soft woods. Oak trees shed their leaves in winter, have leaves to shed, produce nuts (acorns) for reproduction and are hard woods. The difference between hard woods and soft woods is in the trunk and where the dividing line between the heartwood and sapwood exists. Oak is much harder to drive a nail into or cut than a fir.

Conifers such as the western white pine may keep the same needles for as long as 4 years. Others, like the redwood, sequoia, spruce, hemlock and fir, will not drop their foliage when it turns cold. Different trees that have leaves also follow suit, maintaining their leaves despite the turning of the pages on the calendar. I hope this helps!
