Not all fruit trees are deciduous.
A deciduous tree is a tree that sheds all leaves at the end of the growing season, goes dormant for the winter, and then experiences renewed leaf growth in the spring. Many fruit trees are deciduous such as the apple, apricot, fig, peach, pear, and plum. But some are not.
The citrus orange tree is an example of a fruit tree that is not deciduous. The orange tree is an evergreen. The grapefruit is also the product of an evergreen tree. The banana and the pineapple are actually herbaceous plants rather than the product of a deciduous tree. Many fruits are grown on a vine such as grapes and the kiwifruit.
