Can anyone recommend a company we can order a Sassafras tree from? We live
in zone 5 Ohio and haven't found any nearby. One reason I want a Sassafras
tree is because it brings back a fond memory of my grandfather (past away in
1980) showing me his tree and giving me a leaf to chew on. It tasted nice.
Does anyone have a Sassafras tree? Ever made Sassafras tea? Any
information anyone cares to share about this wonderful tree is appreciated.
Thanks


We have it all about and I love the smell. Used to make it into a tea
or infusion 40 years ago.

Too bad it is a human carcinogen.

Bill who still pulls it for the smell.
