A single leaf with numerous leaflets. A leaf begins where the leaf stem connects to the wood tissue of the twig. Sometimes, the leaf stem supports these leaflets that look like individuals leaves but the leaf stem is not woody. Ashes, boxelder, and butternuts display this characteristic. Double-compound is when each leaflet is also made up of secondary leaflets. Honeylocust is the only U.P. tree that is double-compound.
