Deciduous trees need more nutrients to replace their photosynthetic system whereas evergreen trees need low nutrients as they mantain foliage on the twig all year round.
The opposite of deciduous is "evergreen." Evergreen trees and plants retain their leaves or needles throughout the year, unlike deciduous trees that shed their leaves annually.
generally deciduous though some angiosperms (Azalea, Camellia, Eucalyptus) are evergreen :D
Deciduous usually means plants that drop their leaves, such as in the fall. The opposite of deciduous is evergreen. Often people mistake the opposite of deciduous to be coniferous, meaning cone-bearing. There are a few deciduous trees that are also coniferous, such as larch. There are also plants that are evergreen but are not coniferous, such as eucalyptus.
Cacti are typically classified as evergreen plants, meaning they retain their foliage year-round. However, some cacti species may shed their spines or leaves in response to environmental changes or seasonal variations.
Deciduous; as 'opposed to' the coniferous [evergreen] conifers.
Ferns, moss, bushes, and most other non-evergreen forms.
There are several ways you may classify plants into two groups. A few of them are:- Angiosperm and Gymnosperm. Evergreen and deciduous. Hardwood and softwood.
A bonsai plant may be deciduous or evergreen. This plant will lose all its leaves if it is deciduous. Evergreen plants lose leaves gradually overa period of time and new leaves keep on emerging, therefore, it is never leafless.
Deciduous plants lose their leaves seasonally, typically in response to changes in climate, such as colder temperatures in winter, to conserve water and energy. In contrast, evergreen plants retain their leaves throughout the year, shedding only a few leaves at a time while maintaining a constant foliage cover. This adaptation allows evergreens to photosynthesize year-round, while deciduous plants enter a dormant phase during unfavorable conditions.
There are trees.
Deciduous (looses leaves during the Autumn), and evergreen (keeps leaves all year).
evergreens last forever for example pine trees and perennial does not. A perennial is a herbaceous plant that grows, flowers and dies back in one year to grow again and repeat the process every year.An evergreen is usually a shrub or tree that is not deciduous.
