Tree size as a factor influencing leaf emergence and leaf fall in <i>Acacia nigrescens</i> and <i>Combretum apiculatum </i>in the Kruger National Park

In Acacia nigrescens and Combretum apiculatum saplings tended to retain leaves over the dry season, whereas the mature trees generally lost most of their leaves. In Acacia nigrescens the production of new leaves over the dry season was more commonly observed in saplings than in mature trees.
