Spicebush--smell the leaves.

As you can see from this photo, gorgeous clear yellow autumn color. This one is a female - plants are dioecious, having male and female flowers on separate plants.

didn't have the camera there so this is all I have. Your pic is infinitely better than most because a closeup is helpful for ID, also flower/fruit is greatly helpful. You have spicebush, larval host to spicebush swallowtail butterfly.

We did have the spicebush swallowtail this summer Sam, Wonderful To know t,hat is why they were here.

Lacey, the leaf does smell spicey when crushed, thank you for knowing that.

Babs, good to know it's a female. Maybe I can try growing the seed.
