DRAG THE ARROWS TO EITHER SIDE TO SEE EACH PHOTO!
Both photographs show leaves of evergreen plants. Unlike most trees and plants, evergreens keep their leaves all winter long. The leaves must last through cold, snow, and the very dry air of winter. What do you notice about the leaves that might be an adaptation to surviving winter conditions? Explain your answer.
