Lindera benzoin - Northern Spicebush
Spicebush is a medium-sized deciduous shrub growing to 5 m tall.
The leaves are very aromatic when crushed, hence the common names and the specific epithet "benzoin."
The flowers grow in showy yellow clusters that appear in early spring, before the leaves begin to grow.
The fruit is a berrylike red drupe about 1 cm long and is highly prized by birds. It has a peppery taste and scent, and contains a large seed.
The autumn colour is a fantastic golden yellow colour in sheltered gardens.
It likes moist neutral to slightly acid soil.
Eventual height is about 5m
