Doubly-compound leaf examples?

Question

I've got a project where we collect leaves, classify them, etc. There are some required classifications. One of the requirements is to get a doubly-compound leaf. What are some trees that are doubly-compound? Please help! I have Hickory, but that's just compound I think.

Hi, you did not mention where you are doing your collecting; but you are correct, the hickory leaf is pinnately compound. I found a good visual resource to help folks compare simple and compound leaves.

Here it is: https://www.treehugger.com/simple-and-compound-tree-leaf-4051112#toc-double-pinnately-compound

The website also gives examples of tree species with different types of leaves. For doubly compound, you will be looking for double pinnately compound or bipinnate. Enjoy! Lyn H
