Why don't all trees shed their leaves in the fall?
In general, the foliage left on the branches is not the norm, biologist Alexey Yanovsky explained to - but the reason is not the age of the trees and shrubs, but the fact that they are not adapted to Siberian frost.
"This can be seen on maples with ash leaves and apple trees with large fruit," explained the expert.
The biologist also gave an example from his experience: his creeping apple tree in some years does not have time to shed its leaves in the fall, so dry leaves remain on the branches until spring.
