Live oak, some call them "evergreens" although they don't resemble any
conifer, drop their leaves not at the end of the growing season, but, at the
beginning of spring. Leaves are soon replaced in less than a week. If one
is not paying attention, one might think they never lose their leaves. Just

They're hardwood if anyone is perplexed.

If you've ever had one growing in your yard, you'll never think they don't
lose their leaves.
