Sassafras--My Money Tree!Read the article this discussion is about
This archived discussion is "read only". « Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Next » » KimHan - Hey Renie, my uncle actually remembers you. He says you were a cute little blond that used to take a little boy named Joey for a walk all the time. He said he and my aunt, who is now deceased, used to talk to you sometimes. Isn't that wild? Well, I think it is. See you later.Kim -- posted by KimHan » Renie_Burghardt - Gee, Kim, that was about a hundred years ago. How nice that he still remembers me. Tell him "Hi" from me. And little Joey is 40 now! Thanks for bringing back a nice memory, Kim. I'm gonna go now and have a cup of Sassafras tea.-- posted by Renie_Burghardt » Mink5569 - Educational, informative and beautiful...

I loved your writing style and the beautiful photos you used in your essay.Thank you for the wonderful information you presented in this article.

I enjoyed your first article, and am looking forward to others, snakes and all! Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate it!Renie -- posted by Renie_Burghardt » silvan - The beautiful sassafras Thank you for writing about one of my favourite trees. It is relatively unfamiliar here in Ontario. I didn't get to know the sassafras until my summer working in Carolinian woodland when I was 21 or 22.Another feature I love about the sassafras (besides its spicy scent) is the way its leaves glow when backlit by sunlight. They press nicely, too, but I've lost all the ones I collected 15 years ago. Van Waffle -- posted by silvan » Renie_Burghardt - Hi Sylvan! I agree with you about Sassafras being beautiful. Here, it's pretty well taken for granted, since it grows everywhere. But I like it very much, and it really is a unique speciment.Thanks so much for dropping by. Great to see you, and I hope you visit again, soon, Sylvan! -- posted by Renie_Burghardt » Purpleflame - Great article Renie Reading your article almost made me want to pack up & move!
