Sassafras albidum (Sassafras Tree)
Name:
Sassafras albidum (Sassafras Tree)
Comments:
A fast easy-to-grow small tree with a graceful form and brilliant red to yellow fall foliage. Sassafras will spread by root suckering to form a colony of trees appropriate for screening and naturalistic landscapes. Or you can cut the suckers off and have one stately specimen tree.

Tolerates a wide variety of soil and moisture conditions. Very drought tolerant once established.
