There are 2 basic categories of trees: deciduous and evergreen. While evergreen trees keep their leaves throughout the year (are ever green!), deciduous trees are the ones that lose their leaves for a part of the year, and then regrow new ones during the next season.
So what about pears? Are pear trees deciduous?
For the most part, yes they are!
Most pear trees lose their leaves during the winter season, and begin to grow new leaves when spring arrives. However, there are some species of pear native to southeast Asia that are evergreen, and keep their leaves all year.
Kuna aina mbili za miti: ya majani na ya kijani kibichi. Wakati miti ya kijani kibichi huhifadhi majani yake mwaka mzima (ni kijani kibichi! Miti ya majani ni ile ambayo hupoteza majani yake kwa sehemu ya mwaka, na kisha kukua upya mpya wakati wa msimu ujao. Basi vipi kuhusu peari? Je, miti ya peari hupungua majani? Kwa sehemu kubwa, ndiyo! Miti mingi ya peari hupoteza majani yake wakati wa majira ya baridi kali, na huanza kukua majani mapya wakati majira ya kuchipua yanapofika. Hata hivyo, kuna aina fulani za peari zinazopatikana kusini-mashariki mwa Asia ambazo huwa na majani ya kijani kibichi, na huhifadhi majani yao mwaka mzima.
