Some trees keep their dead leaves through winter in a process called marcescence, primarily to protect next year’s buds from deer, cold, and drying winds, while also providing shelter for birds and enriching the soil in spring as the leaves fall. This helps young trees especially, as their buds are at browsing height, and it’s thought to be an evolutionary trait from evergreen ancestors. This is the best guess from those who study these things! #thegrowingplace #gardencenter #auroraillinois #nap

We’ve almost come full circle, Hornbeams retain their leaves over winter, as do Beech and Oak - it’s called marcescence. Leaves don’t drop until there is plenty of new growth in spring (this hornbeam didn’t fully shed its old leaves until mid-April!). Over winter the leaves provide insulation, homes for over wintering inverts and they protect the new buds 🤎💚🤎Nature showing us we are all different and we all let go when it’s right for us #nationaltreeweek #treecouncil #hornbeam #forestschool |

NEW VOCABULARY WORD: Marcescence mar·ces·cent /märˈsesənt/ Marcescence is the phenomenon where trees hang on to their dead leaves through the winter.

Here we look at Marcescence or delayed leaf drop. This is common among members of the beech family, and some other groups of trees, like hornbeam and hophornbeam. Sawtooth oak (Quercus acutissima) is invasive in some parts of the Eastern US. . #tree #trees #plant #plants #botany #garden #gardening #Forest #forestry #arborist #dendrology #horticulture | Levitreeschool
