Open your plants and inspect the same day received. We offer 3 days to report any problems with your order. Bare root plants need to be planted within 2-3 days of receipt unless weather prohibits.

Sassafras are deciduous trees that are native to eastern North America and Asia.
Known worldwide for their aromatic and many medicinal properties, they are grown from places as far north as Canada, as far south as Florida, and as far east as Taiwan.

Their growth is stopping somewhere between 30 & 60 feet. Once they reach maturity, their branches will spread to between 25 & 40 feet wide, displaying the tree’s mitten-shaped leaves that come in colors like yellow, orange, green, red, and brown.
