Description

For a home planting planned around early root development, Sassafras (Sassafras albidum) is a perennial garden crop for backyard orchards. Give plants full sun and fertile, well-drained soil as they establish.

As the seed-starting period begins, Sow in prepared growing medium when it reaches the recommended germination range. Water moderately and prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged while seedlings establish, then harvest when the crop reaches the appropriate stage for eating, with a patient routine focused on new seedling care after sowing.
