Some trees lose all their leaves and stand bare in the cold.
Many trees drop their leaves in autumn to save energy for winter. As days grow shorter and colder, trees can't make enough food in their leaves, so the green fades and the leaves turn red, orange, and gold before falling off.
Leaves aren't too heavy for a tree to hold, and trees aren't trying to scare away birds either; the real reason is all about surviving the cold months ahead.
Evergreen trees like pines keep their needles all winter because a waxy coating protects them from freezing, so they don't need to drop them.
