    I found an 8 to 10" sassafrass seedling today in close quarters, but I want to try to move it. I know they are difficult to transplant. I've already tried three of them and managed to keep one of them alive for over a year, but it finally gave up and croaked. Those three were over a foot and a half tall when I tried to save them, though. Since this one is so tiny, does anyone have any good advice, like soil conditions to keep it in when I move it, how deep to dig when I dig it up, etc? I've checked other web sites and they mention planting seeds. I have a gorgeous sassafrass tree, but I don't know what a seed even looks like. I'd collect the seeds if I knew. Any advice? Thanks, Jan
