Why do evergreen trees stay green?
What type of tree stays green all year long? It is an evergreen tree, of course! Evergreen trees stay green all year because they can conserve, or keep, water inside their needles all year. This means they do not lose their leaves, or needles, like deciduous trees do in the autumn.
