Cuttings: keep juvenile apical leaves?

[Kanorin]

In cases where you prune a branch while it is still extending new apical shoots with leaves that haven’t hardened off yet, do you keep or remove the immature leaves before you set it up to grow as a cutting?
Example.

I keep them, they're good indicators of health.

I remove them to lessen transpiration, and because they usually indicate "we're dying" for me! Lol!

I like indicaters. Good idea.
