Np! I couldn't find any evidence that any species of tree use their leaves to prevent new ones from growing too close.

The lack of light, water, and nutrients would kill and new saplings all on its own.

That might be an old hypothesis that later got disproven, but most people don't keep up on forestry sciences so that's understandable!
