The three major varieties for this year include Large Leaves and Small Leaves as well as a Small Date and Large Date. Look for the large leaves to have little to no detail, while the small leaves have a lot of detail.
In order to define the small date versus the large date, look for the small date to have a larger gap between the 8 and the 9.
