Best Answer

DNA is less sensitive to degradation than proteins and RNA, so it doesn't always require special treatment. Just pick the leaf, and grind it up. Leaf discs are often used because they have similar weight every time. To collect a leaf disc, place the leaf on a flat surface and use something round with a sharpish edge to punch a hole in the leaf.
