The answer
LEAFY
What leafy means
Full of leaves or having large, prominent leaves; often used to describe vegetables like lettuce or spinach, or plants and trees with abundant foliage.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *leaf* (the plant part) plus the suffix *-y*, meaning "having the quality of." The Old English *leaf* descends from Proto-Germanic *laubaz*, which likely relates to broader Indo-European roots meaning "to peel" or "to strip." The *-y* suffix, also from Old English, simply turns the noun into an adjective describing something abundant with or characterized by that noun.
