Trees of Alabama Series: Sassfras - (Sassafras albidum Lauraceae ). Deciduous hardwood found commonly in all regions of Alabama. The cache container is a camoed pill bottle. The wood is used for fence posts and home-made fishing rods. Oil of sassafras extracted from the roots is used in perfumes, tea and herbal remedies. Many birds and mammals eat the fruit and bear and deer browse the foliage. I love the smell of crumpled Sassafras leaves and have made tea from the roots. There is a picture of a Sassfras and it's leaves on the cache log. Park at Shiloh Church and walk south a short distance on hunting road. Please return cache as found.
