An evergreen plant is a plant that has leaves all year round, according to Wikipedia. This contrasts with deciduous plants, which completely lose all their foliage for part of the year. The tree keeps its leaves all year round though dropping their leaves and instantly re growing them. Leaf persistence in evergreen plants may vary from only a few months (with new leaves constantly being grown and old ones shed), up to a maximum of 5 years in Great Basin Bristlecone Pine Pinus longaeva.
