Sassafras variifolium
The Sassafras Tree (Sassafras variifolium) is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to eastern North America, known for its distinctive, aromatic leaves that can have three different shapes: simple, lobed, or mitten-like. Growing 30-60 feet tall with a rounded crown, the Sassafras tree produces small yellow flowers in early spring, followed by blue berries in the fall. Its vibrant fall foliage turns brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red. The tree is valued for its fragrant leaves and bark, which have historically been used in making teas and herbal remedies. The wood is also prized for furniture and crafting. The Sassafras tree is often used in landscaping for its unique foliage and striking autumn color.
