The blades of simple leaves are undivided, although they may have deep lobes. By contrast, the blades of compound leaves consist of clearly separated leaflets. Each leaflet usually has its own petiole, which is called a petiolule. There are two types of compound leaves: pinnately compound leaves and palmately compound leaves. The leaflets in pinnately compound leaves arise from either side of an axis called the rachis, which is an extension of the petiole. The leaflets in palmately compound leaves originate at the tip of the petiole and lack the rachis.

Holly trees have simple leaves
Yes, Ginkgo's have simple leaves. It can look confusing, because the leaves are closely clustered on a short shoot.... so yes, they're simple leaves. Cycads, on the other hand have compound leaves.
Compound leaves are divided into two or more separate segments called leaflets. The leaf blade is not continuous in this type of leaf.
Some plants have single and clustered leaves, and some have clustered or compound leaves.Maple and Oak trees have simple leaves. Some such as horse-chestnut and locust trees, have leaves that grow in clusters. These are compound leaves. Others plants have leaves shaped like needles or spines.
Simple leaves would not have the petioles. The petioles are the 'stem' that hold the leaflets to the stem. Chestnut have compound leaves. What looks like five separate leaves are really five leaflets held together.

A banana is not a tree but a herb. The banana leaves are bigger than the horse chestnut leaves.
A horse chestnut tree!
Yes
Yes! Sweet Chestnut trees are deciduous because they loose their leaves in the winter. Whereas evergreen trees i.e. pine don't loose their leaves in the winter!
If as I think they are the Buckeye is the chestnut then you have a problem chestnuts drop their leaves in the Autumn.
compound leaves
Locust trees typically have double compound leaves. :)
