deciduous leaves
Fall from trees
Deciduous leaves are leaves that fall off seasonally, typically in autumn.
The term distinguishes trees and shrubs that shed their foliage annually from evergreens, which retain leaves year-round.
Maples, oaks, and birches have deciduous leaves; pines and hollies do not.
The deciduous leaves turned brilliant shades of orange before dropping.
