How to handle blending with gradients in tile sampler?

One big problem I keep facing, especially when making foliage type assets, is getting awful looking intersection between the shapes. Here I have a simple leaf shape blended with bottom-up gradient, and placing it in Tile sampler to tile it, but some of the leaves go through each other very un-naturally.

 

Is there better way to achieve this kind of effect with smarter blending on the areas where they overlap?

Hi

You might get away with using a checkerboard pattern to control the colour and adjusting the color parametrization multiplier.

However a more controlable way would be to duplicate the tile sampler and use a checkerboard pattern to control the mask on one and an inverted checkerboard to control the mask on the other . Then control the height of each with a levels node before blending them back together.
