As mentioned above, the number of leaflets in this species is highly variable, with the leaves ranging from simple to compound with seven leaflets. Seedlings and young vegetative shoots typically have compound leaves with five leaflets, whereas the number of leaflets on fertile shoots is much more variable. In general, the number of leaflets, along with the size of the lateral leaflets, decreases along the length of fertile shoots, and the leaves in the proximity of the flowers and fruits are, in many cases, simple or have only one or two tiny lateral leaflets.
