refoliate
Sprout new foliage
To refoliate is to grow new leaves after losing them, whether through seasonal cycles, disease, or damage.
Trees refoliate in spring after winter dormancy.
The term also applies to restoration: The damaged hedges refoliated within weeks of pruning.
In technical contexts, it can mean to apply new foliage to artificial plants or decorations.
