Hi I have an unknown tree in a small wood patch beside my house. The wood smells so good when broken. I was peeling the bark of a broken limb and noted it smells like a mix of oranges, flowers, and an undertone of menthol. It doesn't have any leaves yet just a few flowers.     |

| Maybe a Sassafrass? Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |

| Sassafras was my thought, based on those flowers. |

| Sassafras (Sassafras albidum) is a North Carolina native. If it is indeed Sassafras albidium, I hope you will consider uploading your great photos to the database!

I thought so too until I found these leaves coming from a limb of the trees lower stump. They don't match up with sassafras leaves.  |

| Show us more of that newest image, without your thumb/hand covering key ID features. Show use where that branch with leaves emerges from, and more of the whole growing situation. John |
