Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus): Jackfruit trees are evergreen trees, meaning they retain their leaves throughout the year.

Mahua (Madhuca indica): Mahua trees are deciduous, meaning they shed their leaves annually.

Teak (Tectona grandis): Teak trees are also deciduous, and they shed their leaves during the dry season.

So, Mahua and Teak are deciduous trees, which means only two of the trees listed are deciduous.
