What are the advantages and disadvantages of producing small leaves instead of fewer large leaves?

Answer 1

Hi Jensen B.,

Personally, I have gotten by so far with producing neither?

Consider the following items: strength:weight ratios, size:wind-resistance ratios, sunlight:branching-desirability strategies. There may be a few other possibilities: perimeter: area ratios, where an insect-antifeedant compound need only be expressed at the perimeter, and so on.
