Evergreen and coniferous trees and shrubs typically retain their needles for several years, with most species keeping them for about 2 to 7 years before they shed them. The exact duration depends on the species, environmental conditions, and overall health of the plant. Unlike deciduous trees, which lose all their leaves annually, evergreens continuously replace their older needles throughout the year.

Laurel, acacia and eucalyptus are also evergreens, and although not deciduous, they are not cone-bearing trees (they also definitely have leaves rather than needles). Therefore spruce is not deciduous, it is coniferous
