| American beech, Fagus grandifolia. Why do Beech trees hold onto their leaves in Winter? Deciduous trees that hold onto their leaves through the winter are described as marcescent. Some say it's to hide the new growth that a tree might set prior to the Winter hiding the new growth from predators or foraging animals and birds. These pale yellow to brown leaves dance in the breeze, making a crisp rattling sound, which also might be a deterrent to animals and birds. Here you can see the dried leaves as well as new growth awaiting Springtime. |
