Sassafras (Sassafras albidum)

Tall shrub or tree produces three shapes of leaves: a mitten-shaped leaf with one large lobe and a small “thumb”; an oval leaf, and a three-lobed leaf.     Native to Massachusetts.    Grows in full sun or part shade.   The wood is soft but flexible.  Aromatic leaves, twigs, and roots attractive to wildlife for berries and foliage. Tolerates wide range of soils, but a little fussy about transplanting, so offer extra attention.
