Question

Pls tell if tree sleeps or not?

Answer 1

we all are here because they never sleeps so we should be thankful to them...plant more trees

yes they go in dormant(hibernation) stage during winter

Answer 2

They sleep in a sense.  In temperate climates towards the end of summer they draw all the nutrients in from the leaves into there trunks and branches. ( that's why the leaves turn brown in Autumn) They then go into a period of rest until Spring after which they have another growing season.  So in a sense the have a period of rest and recuperation.  In Tree-speak I suppose they have a sleep.

Casanova is an idiot. Trees only release CO2 when their leaves fall off and die, or when you burn them.

Answer 12

Yes of course they do, Haven't you heard them snoring?

On a more serious note, they don't sleep, but they do rest.

In the autumn, they seal off the ends of their twigs with cork. The leaf dies and drops off. The tree saves energy by not sending the sap to the leaves, because they are no longer there. In the spring, the whole process starts all over again. Isn't mother nature wonderful.
