A deciduous tree sheds its broad, flat leaves during the fall season, in contrast with most evergreens which typically retain needle foliage or coniferous evergreen trees that are cone bearing. One of the most common deciduous trees in Minnesota is the paper birch, but the largest and most majestic is the yellow birch. In Minnesota, it can attain 100 feet in height and have a trunk 4 feet in diameter.
