Pome fruit trees are deciduous, and undergo a dormant winter period that requires cold temperatures to break dormancy in spring. [1] Well-known pomes include the apple , pear , and quince . [ 1 ]
Evergreens suffer greater water loss during the winter and they also can experience greater predation pressure, especially when small. Deciduous trees experience much less branch and trunk breakage from glaze ice storms when leafless, and plants can reduce water loss due to the reduction in availability of liquid water during cold winter days.

Stone fruit trees and certain other plants of temperate climate develop next year's buds in the summer.
