Have decided that small jungle tree farming is unsustainable. I've managed to GET it to sustain, but each tree averages 64 leaves, and they drop at an average rate of 1 sapling per 40 leaves, which means you WILL have a tough time gathering.
I've been farming a group of 15 small jungle trees, and this last time I went through, I got 13 saplings - meaning I LOST two trees!
So I'm reworking my farm into a giant jungle tree farm. It takes different space considerations, and requires 4 saplings per tree, but they have significantly more leaves so in the long run, you end up getting significantly more saplings.
I just ran a test tree and I got 8 saplings back - double my investment! Worth it.
