These are called deciduous trees. Trees that keep their leaves in winter are called coniferous. Most coniferous trees have needle leaves and cones. Deciduous leaves vary in shape and size but most trees that don't have a needle shaped leaf are deciduous trees.
The trees you are referring to are likely evergreen conifers, such as pine, spruce, or fir trees. These trees produce cones and have needle-like leaves that remain green throughout the year. They are well-suited for cold climates and are often used as Christmas trees.
Conifers are commonly called evergreens because they retain their foliage throughout the year, rather than shedding all their leaves in the fall like deciduous trees. Their needle-like leaves are adapted to withstand harsh winter conditions, allowing them to photosynthesize and remain green even in colder months. This characteristic gives them a continuous green appearance, which is particularly evident in winter landscapes.
Besides the visual differences, pine needles remain attached to the branch for several years while maples shed their leaves every fall. A pine needle also has its vascular tissue running down the middle, compared to the vascular network in a maple leaf. Pine needles grow in bunches of 2-6 and maple leaves grow singly on opposite sides of the stem from each other.
Some trees that remain green all winter in temperate climates include evergreen conifers such as pine, spruce, and fir trees. These trees have needle-like or scale-like leaves that help them retain their green color throughout the winter months. Deciduous trees that keep some or all of their leaves in winter, such as certain holly species, also remain green during this time.
leaves and the remain of dead organisms.
To accurately identify an evergreen tree by examining its leaves, look for characteristics such as needle-like or scale-like leaves that remain green year-round. Pay attention to the arrangement and shape of the leaves, as well as any distinctive features like resin dots or a waxy coating. Consulting a field guide or tree identification resource can also help in identifying specific evergreen tree species.
The pine tree leaves are adapted for snow deserts. To minimize the evaporation of water these become needle like, reducing the free surface area but at the same time have chlorenchyma cells with many infoldings to provide maximum space for capturing sunlight. Essential oils present in the cell sap do not allow free water to freeze under low temperature.
The direction of the needle will remain unchanged. This is due to magnetic forces, the needle will remain in line with the lines of magnetic force which flow between the north and south poles.
Examples of needleleaf trees include pine, spruce, fir, and cedar. Needleleaf trees are characterized by their long, thin leaves in the shape of needles, which remain on the tree year-round. They are typically coniferous trees and are common in colder climates.
Tea leaves are a solid because they are actual leaves
Pines have four types of leaves:Seed leaves (cotyledons) on seedlings, borne in a whorl of 4-24.Juvenile leaves, which follow immediately on seedlings and young plants, 2-6 cm long, single, green or often blue-green, and arranged spirally on the shoot. These are produced for six months to five years, rarely longer.Scale leaves, similar to bud scales, small, brown and non-photosynthetic, and arranged spirally like the juvenile leaves.Needles, the adult leaves, which are green (photosynthetic), bundled in clusters (fascicles) of (1-) 2-5 (-6) needles together, each fascicle produced from a small bud on a dwarf shoot in the axil of a scale leaf. These bud scales often remain on the fascicle as a basal sheath. The needles persist for 1.5-40 years, depending on species. If a shoot is damaged (e.g. eaten by an animal), the needle fascicles just below the damage will generate a bud which can then replace the lost leaves.
