Oaks Cling to Dead Leaves in Winter Weather
Maine Audubon notes oaks often hold dead leaves into late winter as a remnant of past seasons. Live oaks in Georgia and the Southeast stay evergreen, while northern oaks shed leaves with wind or cold. Deciduous trees evolved to drop leaves, but oaks mix strategies by delaying leaf shedding until weather strips them away or new buds push them free.
