This picture shows that the first leaf is the smallest, and the next two are almost as small.
The next picture shows 4 cuts with the resulting small leaves and the long limb that we are dealing with.
All four cuts are on the gray-barked (more mature) portion of this limb. You can see the small leaves on this portion of the limb. The reddish-brown portion of this limb is the new growth. Notice how quickly the leaves graduate to full size.
By the third leaf you are almost at full size and fifth. sixth and so on are full-sized leaves.
