In a thread on a different forum, I named Sassafras albidum as one of my top 3 trees, and lamented that I didn't have any growing on my farm.

Imagine my surprise when just today I was walking the perimeter of the farm and found a grove of sassafras, growing right alongside the road, on the edge of my property.

Many of the trees are maidens or younger, but a few of them appear to be at least 10 years old, 15' feet tall and baseball bat-sized trunks. I'm happy as a clam with all this sassafras!

Now to figure out how to get those sassafras seeds to germinate...
