i will post this on the barter board too, but since i read requests from posters here, i will post my offer here as well.

i have located a 12 foot tall sassafras tree in my field and it has lots of berries this year. i anticipate having seed (or at least the berries). i remember folks trying to find seed this spring. if anyone is interested, pm me and i will put the names on a list in case the seeds actually produce. there is no way i could guarentee viability of the seeds, but we can all hope for success together, lol.

i also found about a half dozen seedlings about 2 feet high. i would be willing to ship them dry rooted this fall when they go dormant.

prices negotiable and barters accepted.

Here's an article that covers basic habitat requirements...it should help. Sassafras is pretty forgiving.

We like ours enough that we quit mowing around it for a ways, just to allow a 'sassafras grove' to grow up. :baby04: I think everyone should have sassafras!
