| Preferred label | Winter Deciduous |
| Definition | The plant loses its leaves/needles yearly at the end of every vegetation period. Winter deciduous plants lose their leaves because of freezing temperatures in winter times, when water turns into ice below 0° C and could not circulate anymore within the plant, and would also destroy plant tissue during freezing. |
