Sassafras is a native North American deciduous tree which can be found in woods from Ontario to Michigan, and south to Florida and Texas. In places it is also grown as an ornamental. The stem, which is usually 10 to 40 feet high but sometimes reaches 125 feet, is covered with rough, grayish bark. The leaves are alternate, downy on the lower side, and variable in shape from ovate to elliptic, entire or three-lobed.
