Sassafras albidum Wind luxurious texture through all seasons

luxurious texture through all seasons but is especially appreciated in the bleak mid-winter

Also interesting in autumn when this conifer surprisingly takes on the golden tones of its deciduous neighbours then drops all its needles to reveal a bleak winter silhouette

an apt description of the unique 3 tipped leaves

Ideal for large gardens
