Is a weeping willow leaf a compound leaf?

Answer 1

The Weeping Willow leaf (scientific name: Salix Alba 'Tristis') is actually a simple leaf. :) But because of its appearance on the branches, it is sometimes mistaken as a compound leaf instead.

Answer 2

Yes, a weeping willow leaf is a compound leaf. Compound leaves have multiple leaflets attached to a single leaf stalk, and the long, slender leaves of the weeping willow tree exhibit this characteristic.
