Sassafras albidum syn. Sassafras officinale syn. Sassafras variifolium

Noticed that something or someone had dug it out; I reseated it with grave misgivings #fails

Where oh where should I plant these? #midwesternnative #hostplant

If these #tendrilsofhope turn out to be dandelions I'm going to be quite vexed #upclose #hostplant #101uses

This forlorn stick will, I hope, grow into a Sassafras tree #swamptastic #midwesternnative #hostplant #101uses

#nativeplant which Mr. Serious urgently wants to eat...needed to move this outside or it would already be gone, daddy, gone lol

2 bare-root sassafras treelets came in the mail today. No idea how to bring them out of dormancy safely so I can start hosting some serious moths. Any advice welcome!

Pot them and keep them inside near a sunny window. The warm temp in your house will wake them up in a couple weeks. I'm doing this to wake up my pawpaw seedlings.
