Spicebush (Lindera benzoin) is a deciduous shrub that captivates with its fragrant yellow flowers in early spring. Its leaves turn a brilliant yellow in fall, and its red berries are a treat for birds. Often found in woodlands, it’s perfect for naturalistic gardens. The Spicebush is a sensory delight, bringing fragrance and color to the landscape.

    Hard to know for sure with wee dormant plants, but there was no mold and the root systems looked very healthy! Got them in the ground and excited to see how they do!

Q & A

Since Spicebush requires both a male and a female plant to set fruit, I'd like to be able to specify male and/or female plants when I place my order. Is this possible? Thank you! Cara asked on October 11, 2022

No it's not possible because these are seedlings.
