Common sassafras, also known as White sassafras, Red sassafras, Silky sassafras, Mitten tree, Cinnamon wood
Common sassafras is generally regarded as an easy-to-care-for species, thriving in a variety of soil conditions but preferring well-drained, moist soil with access to full sun to partial shade. One special care point is that common sassafras may require space to grow, as it can become a large tree. Additionally, common sassafras benefits from occasional pruning to maintain shape and remove any suckers that may arise from the root system.
