Periods of leaf fall often coincide with seasons: winter in the case of cool-climate plants or the dry-season in the case of tropical plants, [19] however there are no deciduous species among tree-like monocotyledonous plants, e.g. palms, yuccas, and dracaenas. The hydrangea hirta is a deciduous woody shrub found in Japan. [citation needed]
Forsythia are deciduous shrubs typically growing to a height of 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) and, rarely, up to 6 m (20 ft) with rough grey-brown bark. The leaves are borne oppositely and are usually simple, though sometimes trifoliate with a basal pair of small leaflets; they range between 2 and 10 cm (0.79 and 3.94 in) in length and, rarely, up to 15 cm (5.9 in), with a margin that is ...
Sambucus cerulea is a large, deciduous shrub, which can grow to be 9 metres (30 feet) in height and 6 m (20 ft) in width. It normally grows rather wildly from several stems, which can be heavily pruned (or even cut to the ground) during winter dormancy. The leaves are hairless, strongly pointed and
Holodiscus discolor is a fast-growing deciduous shrub usually from to 1.2–1.5 metres (4–5 feet) in width, and up to 2.1 m (7 ft) tall. Its alternate leaves are small, 5–9 centimetres (2– 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches) long and 4–7 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 –3 in) broad, lobed, juicy green when new. [6] The young branches have longitudinal ridges.
Leaves are obovate, [6] simple, alternating, and grow to 2.5-7.5 cm long. [4] Although the plant is deciduous, its dark green leaves do not present any appreciable fall color change prior to dropping. [3] From March to May small white flowers bloom among the leaves which produce small Drupe fruits ripening in early autumn. [3]
It is a mound-shaped deciduous shrub with alternate, simple leaves, on arching stems. It has a height from 1–3 m (3–10 ft) and a spread of 1–2 m (4–6 ft). [5] The leaves vary from 3–12 cm (1–5 in) in length, with palmately veined lobes. [6] It is fast-growing, insect- and disease-resistant, and drought-tolerant. [7]
Like all dogwoods, they have characteristic stringy white piths within the leaf stalks, which can be used for identification. [6] The flowers are 5–10 millimetres (1 ⁄ 4 – 3 ⁄ 8 in) wide, flat, umbel-like and dull white, in clusters 3–6 cm across. The fruit is a globose white berry 5–9 mm in diameter. It is bitter and unpalatable. [7]
Aralia spinosa is an aromatic, spiny deciduous shrub or small tree growing 2–8 m (7–26 ft) tall. It has a simple or, occasionally, branched stem with very large bipinnate leaves 70–120 cm (30–45 in) long. The trunks are up to 15–20 cm (6–8 in) in diameter, with the plants umbrella-like canopy in habit with open crowns.
