Firstly, what is Foliage?
In botany kingdom, the term foliage means to either a collective canopy of leaves made up of many other plants, or an individual tree or plant's grouping of leaves.
Basically, foliage is simply a grouping of leaves. Unlike the canopy plant, which has the upper top layer of a plant's foliage, the word foliage is used to derived the entire plant's leaves and its leaf growth.
A plant foliage grows to its fullest during its vegetative stage.
