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.
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!
Name: John Scott County, KY (Zone 5b) You can't have too many viburnums..
