Deciduous

 Like many deciduous plants, Forsythia flowers during the leafless season |
Deciduous means "temporary" or "tending to fall off" (deriving from the Latin word decidere, to fall off) and is typically used in reference to trees or shrubs that lose their leaves seasonally.
Such broad-leaf trees & shrubs include Maple, Oak, Elm, Aspen, and Birch, among others. Periods of leaf fall often coincide with seasons: winter in the case of cool-climate plants or the dry-season in the case of tropical plants.[1]
