Spice Bush (Lindera benzoin) is a native shrub to North America. It flowers in April, before its leaves come out. Go to the Forrest and check out this plant. It is in the avocado family and is a high fat food for migratory birds. Wait til you hear how spice bush defends itself. I makes me think twice about drinking spice bush tea.
