Whitehurst Diaries: distinctive shapes of Sassafras leaves

Several days ago retired forester, Billy Joe Fudge, posted photos in Columbia Magazine of a glowing sassafras he had spotted. Cautiously excited, I googled 'sassafras' and found more photos, descriptions.
Of particular interest is the fact that a sassafras tree wears three distinctive shapes of leaves: a slender oval, a thumbed 'mitten' shape, a three-lobed leaf. Comments | Permalink
