Could be any tree; maple, oak, elm, birch etc.... I'm thinking they "hibernate" or, something like it.

Trees go into dormancy in the fall -- usually beginning around September. They are still very much alive, but just have a yearly cycle where they don't actually grow during that period although all vital functions are still alive and well.

Some trees, like the Vernal WitchHazel, actually bloom in the middle of the winter with nice yellow blooms. They do this as far north as Canada. The tree isn't adding height during this time, but is still very much alive.

Little known fact -- most trees in most parts of the country do the vast majority of their growing between April and June. A tree that grows 2 feet a year probably grows 20 inches during this period, and the other 4 inches in late summer, then takes a break for six months. That happens in all climates.
