leafiness
Green and overgrown
Leafiness is the quality of having abundant leaves or foliage.
A plant's leafiness affects how much light reaches the ground beneath it.
The word extends to describe areas dense with vegetation: the leafiness of the old neighborhood's tree-lined streets.
In cooking, leafiness refers to the leaf-heavy character of greens like spinach or kale.
