    Usually a tree would be suffering from phyllomania - the production of too many leaves.

    Okay! I though this was supposed to be fairly simple stuff. I went through 2 years of horticulture and do not remember ever hearing this word. :( The first quiz...and I flunked. I am so ashamed.

    Delly great start!! I know we are going to enjoy this.

    Abnormal leaf production. Would this be like a cancer for plants?

    Goodness!! My computer had to use up a lot of CPU time to find this one. At least it was in the dictionary.
