Do deciduous trees, like an oak, lose their leaves in winter? If so, when do they lose their leaves and when do they bloom again. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

In NW Florida, we have "fall" all year round.
The giant oaks in my yard have leaves that manage to fall within seconds of my cleaning the driveway, and in 3 hours, looks like I hadn't done a thing.
If we classify January as "winter", my oaks still have lots of green leaves and Spanish moss.
Cheers,

Same here in Central Florida!Quote:

Another two months for riding season to start, you lucky southern bastards.
Thanks for the info.

If it makes you feel better, the weather was bad this weekend for riding so I just mowed the grass and washed the F6. :th_sunbathe:Quote:

'riding'
True the oak trees do not drop all their leaves at once but gradually over time. When spring comes however there is a new crop of leaves and everything is nice and green. Mowing the grass on the other hand also never stops !!! The struggle is real!
You guys suck. Take a ride for all of us who can't. If you're into skiing (in the white powdery stuff), then come on out to Utah. The resorts above Salt Lake valley have received 5-6 feet feet of snow in the last 4 days and 20 feet this month!
If I were into snowmobiling, then I could gloat.Quote:
