Stems and leaves of saffron
The tree grows to a height of about 20 - 30 cm and produces 5 - 11 non-photosynthesis white leaves called sycamore leaves. This leaf is structured like membranes that will cover and protect the plant's true leaves when they appear and grow. The true leaves of the plant are canopy, thin, straight and like blades, with a diameter of 1- 3 mm. Leaves can grow more after flowers have bloomed or grown with flowers.
Saffron leaves are expected to grow earlier than flowers if plants are watered relatively early in the development phase. The trunk is axial, or the flower-bearing structure, produces several bracts, which are special leaves that protrude from the flower stalk. This leaf is called a small stalk. After a rest period, the plant will grow and develop real leaves, which can be up to 40 cm long.
