Decidious

 Deciduous trees are plants that drop their leaves for a part of every year,usually during periods of dryness or cold weather. Their branches remain free of foliage until conditions improve. For the tree, this means that it can save energy by not working to keep the leaves green and healthy. Despite having to deal with the fallen leaves and bare trees for part of the year,many people find this type of tree quite attractive, and they are also appreciated for their usefulness, providing wood for things like fires,building, and sculpting.Trees lose their leaves when they go dormant, which is a means of self-preservation. The majority of plants require sun, light, and water to survive,and when any one of these elements is lacking, the stress triggers hormonal changes. These changes prompt the tree to put more energy into simply surviving, so the it ends up losing leaves, which take a great deal of water and energy to maintain and grow.
