I can't quite picture the axe, though I have seen many an axe. And you are right, those releafs just don't cut so good, be they cordate, palmate, pinnate, whatever.. Alas, a chainsaw is more likely to cut the tree to the heart now.
And all I saw in the definition was a lowly worm!
As I said before, context is everything.
