Trees lose their leaves to save energy during the cold winter. In the fall, they stop using some of their leaves and let them go. It’s like taking off a coat when it gets chilly outside, it makes life easier for the tree inside.
Examples
- A maple tree lets go of its leaves when the weather gets cold.
- A birch tree turns yellow before falling off during autumn.
- After a long winter, trees get ready for spring by losing their old leaves.
