spring leaves
New seasonal growth
Spring leaves are the fresh, tender foliage that emerges on trees and plants as winter ends and warmer weather arrives.
They're typically bright green, smaller, and more delicate than mature summer leaves.
The phrase captures both the season and the action—leaves that appear in spring, springing forth from dormant branches.
