Btw, the word in question is misspelled in the OP, it needs an extra 'c'. I had a feeling there was something fishy about the word and its pronunciation.

Spied loads of dead-leaved hornbeam hedges while driving around today, funny how that works.

SK, thx for the pronunciation key. My question is why do some trees of the same species shed and others do not?

Around here, ime, they typically do not. Here and there, yes. I have a huge black oak in my front yard, nary a leaf on it this winter. The big Q imo is how exactly does one pronounce the marc..... word? :rockhard:
