leaf tips
Where leaves narrow
Leaf tips are the outermost points of leaves, often the first part to show damage from environmental stress, nutrient deficiency, or disease.
Gardeners watch for browning or yellowing leaf tips as early warning signs: The brown leaf tips suggest you're overwatering.
In cooking, tender leaf tips from herbs or greens are prized for their delicate flavor.
