Spicebush
Spicebush is a native shrub that offers fragrant yellow flowers in early spring and bright red berries in late summer. Growing 6-12 feet tall and wide, it thrives in partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. The berries are aromatic and medicinal and can be used in herbal teas, while its leaves have a spicy scent – orange zest, cypress, juniper, fresh pine, and pepper – making it a fantastic addition to a woodland garden.
