Regardless of the number of lobes, all leaves of the sassafras tree are a bright green color that shines even brighter in the sunshine.
In the spring, both male and female sassafras trees will grow fat buds at the ends of their branches. These bloom into delicate, beautiful yellow flower clusters. Each six-petaled flower is generally 1 to 2 inches long, and just half an inch in diameter.
Before long, all the leaves will reach a range of colors, like mustard golds, burnt oranges, scarlet reds, and even mahogany purples. As autumn bleeds into winter, the beautiful leaves will dry and fall to the ground—but don’t worry. They keep their color and blanket the base of the tree with a fall rainbow. This stunning display makes sassafras one of the most popular trees to plant near your home.
If you’re interested in adding a stunning sassafras to your property, keep in mind its environmental preferences. Sassafras trees grow best in either full sun or partial shade, which means a minimum of four hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight a day. Soil composition doesn’t matter so much to these trees, and they can handle anything from loamy to acidic to sandy. They have moderate tolerance for drought and salt.
