Its crown is mostly composed of juvenile leaves and adult leaves are usually only found at the top of the tallest trees. The leaves of young plants, coppice regrowth and mature plants have sessile leaves arranged in opposite pairs, the leaves egg-shaped to almost round,  long and  wide with wavy edges. Adult leaves, only present in the crown of tall trees, are arranged alternately, lance-shaped,  long and  wide on a flattened petiole  long.
Its crown is primarily made up of juvenile leaves, while mature leaves are mostly confined to the highest points of the tallest trees. The leaves on young plants, coppice regrowth, and mature plants have leaflets that are attached directly to the stem, arranged in pairs, and have an egg-like or rounded shape with wavy edges. In contrast, adult leaves, only found at the crowns of tall trees, are attached to a stalk, have a lance-shaped appearance, and are longer and wider.
