Lindera benzoin | 1-year seedlings, 8–16"
Spicebush is a native multi-stemmed shrub commonly used in wildlife habitat plantings, riparian buffers, and woodland restoration projects. Growing up to 15 feet tall, it thrives on moist sites and in partial shade. Its bright red berries provide an important food source for birds, while its flowers offer early-season nectar and pollen for pollinators. Spicebush is also an important host plant for several native butterfly species, making it a valuable addition to conservation plantings.
