Plant Return Policy & Shipping Details ＋
Some of the plants you'll find here reach beyond what we grow and keep on hand at the garden center — they ship straight to your door from a network of growers we trust. Because these items never come through Pandy's Garden Center, they can't be picked up, returned, or exchanged in store, and all online plant orders are final sale.
If your order shows up damaged, send us photos of the plant and the packaging within 48 hours of delivery. Once we've had a look, we'll arrange a replacement wherever possible.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Orders leave from a separate facility and may arrive on their own schedule
- Online plant purchases don't carry any warranty or guarantee
- How a plant does once it's home depends on the care and conditions you give it
- Prices online may differ from what you'll find in store

Description
The Sassafras (Sassafras albidum) is a fast-growing, deciduous tree known for its unique, mitten-shaped leaves, fragrant bark, and brilliant fall colors. Native to North America, it thrives in well-drained, acidic soils and adapts to full sun or partial shade. Its foliage turns vibrant shades of orange, yellow, and deep red in autumn, adding striking seasonal interest. The tree also produces small, dark-blue fruits that attract birds and supports pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly landscapes. With a mature height of 30–60 feet and a spreading, irregular crown, the sassafras is ideal for naturalized areas, woodland gardens, and specimen plantings. Beyond its ornamental appeal, the tree’s aromatic leaves and bark have historical uses in traditional remedies and teas. Hardy in zones 4–9, the Sassafras Tree is a low-maintenance, visually captivating choice for diverse landscape settings.Will this grow in my area?
