The deciduous leaves are simple, alternate, and 2 to 4 inches long. The
veins form a network near the margin, with the three principal veins meeting
at a single point at the base, which is rounded and uneven. The margins
are coarsely toothed but entire near the base. Leaves are thin, papery and
rough above, and paler and hairy along the veins underneath. The dull, light
green leaves change to a light yellow or yellow-green in the fall. |
