Is this Sassafras?

I've seen what I believe to be sassafras, but I didn't know there could be 5 lobes. I usually only see 3.

 

Nothing else there like it. Leaf shapes variable.

 

Soooo.....are you saying this is sassafras?

 

Yup. I'll second the ID - the leaves on that plant are hugely variable across individuals.

 

Great. Thanks for the responses from both of you.

By the way, because I'm new here (at least in post counts), am I following proper ettiquette by posting such ID questions here? I do research as best I can before posting, but I certainly don't want to wear out my welcome.

Thanks again!

 

Absolutely. In fact, even if you post in not quite the right section, one of our lovely and helpful moderators will normally move your question to the appropriate place.

Welcome aboard!
