SOME WAYS WE IDENTIFY WOODY PLANTS IN WINTER1.Old leaves (on ground or dried on the tree)2.Buds (number/shape/color)3.Twig (color/rough/smooth/fat/thin/thorns/zig-zag)4.Twig odor when scratched5.Leaf/bud/twig attachment (opposite/alternate)6.Leaf type (scale/needle/broad/compound/simple)7.Leaf scar (shape/bud position/bundle scars)8.Evergreen or deciduous9.Bark (rough/smooth/color/lower branches)10. Fruits (dried or ripe on tree or on ground)11. Habitat (wet/dry/shade/sun/slope/flat)12. Plant growth form (vine/shrub/tree)
