Is there a species of oak tree that does not lose most of its leaves?

Question

We want to plant an oak tree and we heard that there is a variety that does not shed so much of its leaves, if so, what is it?

Answer 1

Live oak loses about half it's leaves in the winter, at least here in north Texas.

Answer 2

Since I live right in the heart of Oak tree territory it is relatively easy to answer this question. If you are asking, Is there a species that does not lose most of its leaves in winter, then the answer is yes. Several members of the Red Oak family retain the leaves in Winter. Turkeys hide in the trees as do other wildlife. Red Oaks produce acorns every year and are not the favorite acorn for most animals. Animals prefer the acorns from White Oaks because they are sweeter, but they are produced every 2 years. The Polyphemus Moth uses leaves retained on oak trees for their cocoons also. Hope this helps you with your decision on which type of oaks to plant. We have a small group of deer that sit in our driveway under the White Oak every winter.

Answer 3

Coast Live Oak

Answer 4

all oaks will shed their leaves they retain some throughout the winter but by spring they all fall off. Pin oak and red oak hold their leaves a little longer in most climates

Answer 5

No natural deciduous tree will stay green during the winter, but white oaks will keep some of their brown leaves on during the winter, shed them in spring, and give way to all new green ones in the spring. Where do you live? (region)

Answer 6

A live oak.

Answer 7

Deciduous timber have a era of dormancy. They stop generating chlorophyll and the reds, yellows, and orange colours grow to be obvious interior the leaves. The leaves finally fall off by using fact the tree is going into dormancy and is now no longer offering the leaves with capability.

Answer 8

Yes to a certain extent. A Deciduous Tree That Keeps Its Leaves - The Pin Oak tree, like all oak trees, is deciduous, but is rather stubborn when it comes to losing its leaves. the Pin Oak tree is one of those trees that tends to hang on to its leaves all winter, even though the leaves have turned brown and are dead, and not shedding them until new leaf buds are ready to open. Aside from being a large and attractive tree, the Pin Oak tree is one of the more rapidly growing oaks. If you plant one in your yard, you don't have to wait 40 years to get some decent shade. The tree will grow 2 to 3 feet a year, and at times even faster. When mature, a Pin Oak will attain a height of between 60 and 80 feet, with a spread of 40 to 50 feet, and is a tree that needs plenty of room. Of all the oaks it is my favorite. I have one in my back yard that is over 70 feet tall and I never rake leaves from this tree. They fall off in the spring and it happens so slowly that they leaves usually just blow away. Also during the severe ice storm we had here in Ky in 2009 it was the only tree in my yard that suffered no damage at all. I lost 2 Silver Maples, 2 Cedar trees, 1 Popular, and my huge 70' Water Oak suffered much damage but has survived. My Pin Oak just laughed at the ice.
