Notes

People have to plant sassafras on purpose? It's a native species here and grows well in poor soil but does not thrive without sun. Nice tree for rehabilitating clear-cut areas. Trees old enough to have rough bark are not palatable to goats & are left alone, although young seedlings are eaten with great relish.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
