What do we call a tree that keeps its leaves in winter?

I thought they were called coniferous.

Lou Lou, Evergreen needles are leaves.l

DesotoDan, any pictures? 📸

KINGpeanut, no you are wrong?

class dismissed. 😆

Evergreen trees such as a pine, retain their needles throughout the year. However, our focus is on the Deciduous trees that defy the norm and persist with their leaves during winter. A phenomenon called marcescence. This answer is wrong.

Nonye, perennial typically refers to a flowering plant that you do NOT have to plant each year

I have an oak that keeps leaves through the winter and are pushed off by the new leaves of Spring

Cizinka, technically they would be considered coniferous I got it wrong but trees with needles are. Coniferous and trees that shed are deciduous.

I thought it was perennial

Rainforests are also ever green because they get enough water from high amount of rainfall all year-round

So if evergreens typically have needles, why did the question say leaves???
