SEMI-DECIDUOUS

'Semi-deciduous' is a botanical term which refers to plants that lose their foliage. 'Semi-deciduous' plants lose their foliage for a very short period, when old leaves fall off and new foliage growth is starting. This phenomenon occurs in tropical and sub-tropical woody species, for example in ''Mimosa bimucronata''. Semi-deciduous may also describe mild-weather trees that lose leaves in a manner similar to deciduous trees in an especially cold autumn.
