Spicebush (Lindera benzoin) is a deciduous shrub and host plant for butterfly caterpillars, such as the Spicebush Swallowtail, that thrives in moist, shady areas. It features glossy leaves and slender, light green branches that give way to dense clusters of tiny pale-yellow flowers in the Spring. Female spicebush shrubs produce edible red berries in the Fall, providing essential nutrients to local birds.
Spicebush is dioecious, meaning it has separate male and female plants. Both bear flowers; however, the female is the only one to produce fruits. If your primary interest in spicebush is its benefit to wildlife, opt for a 4-pack to increase the likelihood of berry production.
