What do sharp leaves on a savanna tree protect them from?

Yes, a hazelnut tree is deciduous, meaning it sheds its leaves annually in the fall. This behavior allows the tree to conserve energy during the colder months.
Pecan trees have both male and female flowers and can self-pollinate via shedding directly onto the female or being carried by the wind. The male flowers are catkin-like, and the female flowers are tiny and not always produced annually. The main problem occurs when certain types release the male pollen at a different time to when the female is ready to receive it. In these cases, it is necessary to plant another tree that releases pollen at the appropriate time. It is thought that the fruit from cross pollinated trees is of higher quality than when produced by self-pollination.
