Regardless of climate, tree leaves maintain an internal temperature of 70 degrees F (21 degrees C), which is the perfect temperature for photosynthesis.
In plant growth, it has been observed that each successive leaf on the stems of many plants is turned from the previous leaf by the golden angle, approximately 137.5°, an angle that purportedly maximizes leaves' sun-collecting power.
It is estimated that your chances of finding a four-leaf clover on the first try are 1 in 10,000.
Evergreen trees will not lose their leaves in the fall like deciduous trees. Their leaves, also called needles, are covered with a thick wax. This wax protects the inner components of the needles, preventing them from freezing.
Leaves turn yellow and orange then brown in autumn as the shorter days bring less chlorophyll-producing sunlight.
The leaves of the Ficus religiosa tree move continuously even when the air around is still and no wind is blowing. This phenomenon can be explained due to the long leaf stalk and the broad leaf structure.
A lotus leaf is able to self-clean by causing water to bead up and collect dirt on its ultrahydrophobic surface
Raphia palm tree have got the largest leaves; one leaf can grow up to 20 meters.
Psithurism is the sound of rustling leaves.

Raking your leaves destroys ecosystems. Fallen leaves create a natural layer that box turtles, butterflies, chipmunks, moths, salamanders, shrews, toads, worms, and other species rely on for food and shelter.
The actor Joaquin Phoenix began calling himself "Leaf" as a child, having been inspired by spending time outdoors raking leaves and desiring to have a nature-related name like his siblings. This became the name he used as a child actor, until he changed it back to Joaquin at age 15.
