This article is about plant types. For other uses, see Evergreen (disambiguation).
A Silver Fir shoot showing three successive years of retained leavesIn botany, an evergreen plant is a plant having leaves all year round. This contrasts with deciduous plants, which completely lose their foliage for part of the year.
Leaf persistence in evergreen plants may vary from a few months(with new leaves constantly being grown as old ones shed), to several decades (over thirty years in Great Basin Bristlecone Pine Pinus longaeva [1]).
