 Deciduous trees are collectively referred to as hardwoods and botanists classify them as angiosperms. The term comes from the Greek angion (vessel) and sperma (seed). To give an example, the seeds of an apple tree are carried in the fruit. Deciduous trees shed their leaves in autumn. They account for the majority of forest tree species in Canada. |
