Many trees lose their leaves in the fall when it starts getting cold. It’s a fact of life… but… do you actually know why trees lose their leaves?

It’s one of those things that we hold as a foundational truth to how the world works, but many may struggle to accurately explain why this process occurs.

Across the Northern Hemisphere trees lose their leaves during fall when the weather starts Turning cold. In tropical forests, trees lose their leaves when the dry season begins. But not all trees lose their leaves. The trees that do are called deciduous trees and the trees that don’t are known as evergreen.
