Laihoja

Laihoja is a Finnish word that translates to "leaves" in English. It refers to the foliage of trees, shrubs, and other plants. The term is commonly used in various contexts, including horticulture, botany, and environmental science. In horticulture, laihonja refers to the process of removing leaves from plants, often to encourage bushier growth or to control the plant's size. In botany, the study of laihonja involves examining the structure, function, and classification of leaves. Environmental scientists use the term to study the role of leaves in ecosystems, including their impact on carbon dioxide levels and their role in the water cycle.

This natural phenomenon is often associated with the changing of seasons and is a significant event in many cultures.
