Re: Sassafras

Jesse, does your local Soil Conservation District have a tree program? When I lived on the farm, mine did. Once a year they had all kinds of trees available--free. From the map in my old, old tree book, it looks like Sassafras albidum is native to southeastern Oklahoma.

Anybody on this list have wild sassafras trees growing nearby? I am
craving sassafras tea (yes, I know they say it is a carcinogen...but I
don't drink it very often and native americans drank it all the time)
and I would really like to find a small tree to grow in my yard.
