Rougher-edge leaves come from willow, birch, true poplars, hornbeam, beech, chestnut, elm, cherry and mulberry trees. Smooth leaves belong to willow oak, live oak, pawpaw, persimmon, magnolia and tupelo trees. Canna lilies also grow clusters of spectacular flowers that stretch up above the large pointed ovate leaves. The tropical leaves grow on arching stems that grow between 1.5 and 8 ft. A simple leaf with no lobes will either be completely smooth around the edges, or slightly toothed and pointy. Large leaf blades grow between 12 and 24 (30 60 cm) and up to 8 (20 cm) wide. Pointed-lobe leaves represent red oaks, sweet gum, sycamore, holly and poplar trees. Are the lobes rounded, pointed or nonexistent (a single, smooth leaf with no protrusions or lobes)? A rounded-lobe tree leaf comes from white oaks, sassafras and mulberry trees. Toothed leaves, such as elm, look like the edges are serrated. Deeply lobed leaves, such as oak, have sharp protrusions with smooth edges. Simple leaves fall into their own categories. The margins of the leaves are either lobed or toothed. Hickory, sumac, walnut, locust and ailanthus trees grow compound leaves. Compound leaves are smaller, with many leaves growing on each leaf stem. Dogwood leaves have a similar shape to ash tree leaves, but grow much larger and in a brighter shade of green.īroad-leaf trees that grow in an asymmetrical pattern also fall into two categories: compound and simple.Leaf: 7 to 11 bristle-tipped broad lobes.
The leaf shape can vary greatly within the species. Easily identifiable is this largest of the black oak group deciduous with upright spreading branches. The leaf is 9-11 cm (3.5 - 4.3 in) long and wide. Leaf: Simple, coarse toothed with 3-5 shallow lobes, opposite, 1.5 dm long, 1.8 dm wide. Look carefully at the way the broad leaves of your tree grow by observing a branch of the leaves. The leaf of red maple is summer green with 3-5 palmate lobes.
