The Science Behind How Trees Survive The Winter

Long ago, all trees grew in warm, tropical climates. ☀️

But as the Earth changed, trees evolved new tricks to survive in freezing temperatures.

Their biggest challenges? Keeping water moving inside their trunks and protecting their leaves from frost! ❄️

Some trees, like evergreens, solve this problem with thick, waxy needles full of natural antifreeze, helping them stay green all winter. 🌲

Others, like maples and oaks, take a different approach—dropping their leaves entirely! 🍂

Without leaves, they lose less water and avoid damage from freezing ice crystals.

How do trees survive the winter? By combining these unique adaptations, trees can handle even the harshest winters and thrive year after year. 🌳

Perfect For Curious Kids & Classrooms!
