Sassafrass isn't in the database! Any idea how hardy they are?

I've always liked them since I saw them in WV, but I don't know how they would do up here...

I would like some, if we can figure the hardiness out.

Thanks,
Cedar

I just looked in my American Horticultural Society book...it says hardy zones 5-8.
Also says hard to establish from the wild cuz of its deep tap-root and few lateral branches so be sure to dig deep JCF. (I dug some really small ones a yr or so ago and two of the three did just fine...it was my neglect that killed the third one.)

Last yr was the first time I dried the leaves for file (see what effect Lisa and Bud have on me!)
