How to use "Leafing" in context?
Leafing is a very important process in plants. It's what they use to exchange nutrients and water with the environment. Without it, they would quickly die. When a leaf starts to fall off a plant, it's called petiole.
Leafing occurs in pairs, one from the stem and the other from the petiole. The pairs are attached at the base by specialised tissue and hinge along the length of their shared axis. The upper surface of the petiole is then modified into a blade or blade-like shape. As the blade falls off, the stem and petiole are left behind.
