Spicebush
Description Spicebush (Lindera benzoin), also known as wild allspice, is a small deciduous shrub. Spicebush, a staff favorite, gets its name from the aromatic, spicy smell of its crushed leaves. It is a popular ornamental plant often found in native landscapes. Its leaves turn yellow in fall, fragrant flowers, and has bright red berries. Spicebush supports wildlife and many pollinators, especially butterflies.
