What is the difference between a deciduous plant and an evergreen?
A deciduous plant is one that loses its leaves all at once, usually seasonally. Examples of deciduous species are Maples, Oaks, Spirea, and Birch.An evergreen is a plant that does not lose its foliage all at once. Evergreen leaves (often needle- or scale-like) are dropped a few at a time, so that the plant never appears bare. Examples of evergreen plants are Spruce, Madrone, Rhododendron, and Pines.
