Small tree, attractive in form and bearing what resembles red coffee beans. Smooth olive green twigs with leaves scented like spicy lemon when crushed.
Attractive yellowish buds, small yellow flowers, red fruits and yellow fall foliage.
The spicebush can be either a shrub or a tree, depending on habit. It attracts spicebush, tiger, and zebra swallowtail butterflies; robins, thrashers, swallows, catbirds, and bobwhites.
Heads Up!
The Virginia Living Museum will open at 11AM to the public today to allow staff to get operations up and running after extensive power loss last night.
This will NOT interfere with regular summer camp operations, camp will begin at 9AM.
Thank you for your patience!
Heads Up! The Changing Exhibit Gallery, where our Wild Explorations exhibit lives, will close at 3PM today in preparation for an after hours event!
