Hi everybody
is Pin Oak the Oak tree that does not really lose it leaves in winter
time ?




No, Pin Oak (Quercus palustris) is deciduous. Could you be thinking of Live
Oak (Quercus virginiana)?


Pin oak leaves turn reddish-brown and die like those of most oaks, but
many of them tend to stick to the branches until spring instead of
falling to the ground. So the leaves aren't "lost" but they aren't
green either.
