What is a deciduous tree?

In: Household Hints [Edit categories]

Answer:

A tree that sheds its leaves once in a year mostly in autumn is called a deciduous tree.

The trigger for deciduous trees to shed their leaves is normally associated with changes in temperature. That's why certain deciduous species when planted in temperate or tropical areas will retain their leaves throughout the year.
Deciduous trees lose their leaves seasonally, typically in the Fall.
