Question

A deciduous tree loses its leaves during cold, dry winter months. In which region of the country would this tree most likely be located? A: Central Ohio B: Central Florida C: Southern California D: Southeastern Louisiana

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A, Central Ohio

Explanation:

Deciduous trees are prominent in Louisiana, Ohio, California and Florida landscapes and include mainly oak trees magnolia trees, bald cypress, sugar maple, hollies, vitex etc.  

These tropical deciduous trees lose their leaves to conserve water during dry weather season and then regrow during suitable growing season.  

Temperate deciduous trees shed their leaves during cold weather and tropical deciduous trees shed their leaves during dry season.

In Central Ohio, temperature is lower than 0 degree Celsius and hence deciduous trees will loose their leaves during winter.

Hence, Option A is correct
