Problem with transparent shader

I'm trying to create a shader for leaves of a tree. The goal is to add a allipse with a transparent gradient over the leaves when player/camera gets too close.

When I change the shader surface type to transparent the different leaf planes seem to be rendered wrong. I tried searching for an answer and it had something to do with unity's way of rendering transparent objects:

And here is the ellipse I try to achieve:

Only way I managed to get the leaves render properly was when I change surface type to Albedo and use Alpha clipping but that totally screws up the transparent ellipse effect.

I would greatly appreciate if there was a way to achieve this effect.
