Leaf ID Tip #1

Looks for pinnate and palmate leaves today!

Palmate:

Like your hand, palmate leaves have "fingers" or leaflets that separate from the main body of the leaf.


Pinnate:

If you press your fingers together, creating one piece, it more closely resembles a pinnate leaf. These leaves come to a point at the top, like a pin. Pin... Pinnate. Tada!
