Sassafras Tree β Unique Aromatic Shade Tree
• The Sassafras Tree (Sassafras albidum) is a beautiful, fast-growing deciduous tree known for its uniquely shaped leaves, fragrant bark, and brilliant fall colors. This native North American tree is famous for its distinctive three-lobed, mitten, and single-lobed leaves, all growing on the same tree, creating a striking visual display. In autumn, the foliage transforms into breathtaking shades of red, orange, and yellow, making it a standout in any landscape. Historically, the Sassafras tree has been valued for its aromatic roots, which were once used to make traditional root beer and herbal remedies.
