SASSAFRAS

Often called "trash" trees...
Prone to colonize - they will spread all over everywhere (sort of like kudzu), crowding out other, more desirable trees.

Not particularly sturdy - they break/fall over in rough weather, leaving lots of debris for you to clean up.

Not especially good for firewood - unless you're talking bonfire.

But...

Are they not gorgeous?!

-and they make delicious tea! I adore the smell of the bark, and sassafras leaves were always my favorite as a child. I loved the "mittens."
