A deciduous forest is one in which most or all of the trees are of species that lose their leaves in winter. A greenwood is a wood or forest in which the trees currently have green leaves, such as is typically the case in summer, though the word is most commonly found in stories, such as Robin Hood, to describe the pleasant forest in which the outlaw characters live.
