What is a tree that never loses its leaves?

A tree that never loses its leaves is like a friend who’s always there, no matter what season it is.

Imagine you have a favorite tree in your backyard, one that stays green all year round, even when other trees are bare and sleepy during winter. That's a evergreen tree, like a pine or a fir. Unlike the trees that lose their leaves in autumn, evergreens keep their leaves on throughout the whole year.

Evergreen trees have special leaves called needles. These needles are tough and stay attached to the tree for many years. While other trees shake off their leaves like a dog shakes water off its fur, evergreen trees just keep holding on, kind of like wearing a coat that never comes off.

Even when it’s cold outside or snowing heavily, these trees don’t get scared. They just keep growing and staying green, like your favorite sweater that stays warm no matter how chilly it gets.
