Evergreen plants, like the name suggests, are plants that maintain their leaves all year around. Regardless of the season, evergreens will be found with leaves or needles. It is important to note however, that evergreens will lose some leaves or needles throughout the year, but never lose them all at once. A good example of an evergreen is the pine tree.
Deciduous plants, on the other hand, grow fresh leaves every spring, and lose their leaves every fall. Typically, during the fall period, the leaves change to spectacular bright colors such as red, orange, or yellow before they are dropped. Once dropped later in the fall, these plants appear bare in the winter, sometimes appearing as if they are dead. Each spring, new leaves are then grown. A good example of these types of plants are oak trees.
Together, entire forests can be made up of either evergreen or deciduous plants, with each type having the above mentioned characteristics. The determination of the make up of such forests is often based on factors such as climate, soil, temperature, and elevation. Often times, in some regions, it is also common to see forests that are a mix of these two types of plants.

Deciduous and evergreen are two opposite types of trees. They are categorized by the pattern and seasonality of their foliage growth. Plants between deciduous and evergreen are known as semi-deciduous trees. They have characteristics of both.
What are deciduous trees?
Deciduous is a term that refers to trees which seasonally shed their unnecessary parts, such as leaves.
What are evergreen trees?
The evergreen tree is a complete contrast to the deciduous tree. it includes most conifers and angiosperms such as hemlock, cycads, and eucalyptus trees.
There are several important differences between a deciduous and an evergreen tree. I will list them for you here:
1) Deciduous and evergreen trees are opposite each other.
2) Deciduous trees shed their leaves seasonally and evergreen trees keep their foliage throughout the year.
3) Deciduous trees are adapted to tolerate cold and dry weather conditions by shedding their leaves while evergreens do not.
4) Evergreens can survive with low soil nutrients. A huge portion of internal nutrients is removed....
