Explain the difference between a deciduous tree and an evergreen tree. Name trees that are examples of each.

A deciduous tree is one that loses its leaves annually at the beginning of the cold season (in the fall). Examples are the maple and the oak. An evergreen tree does not lose foliage seasonally. Examples are any kind of "pine" or "fir" tree. The evergreen trees often have "needles" instead of leaves.

Explanation:

Deciduous is the category for trees that lose leaves seasonally, while evergreen means they stay green, because the foliage does not fall off.
