A surprising number of deciduous trees maintain some of last year's dead leaves well into late winter and even early spring. I took this picture of a young sugar maple on Feburary 18th of this year. However, it seems that lingering leaves on sugar maples are more the exception rather than the rule. It is very common, on the other hand, to find last year's leaves on young beeches and the lower limbs of white oaks of any age.
