For years, while walking in Deep River County Park in the early spring, I have noticed these shrubs or small trees with tiny yellow blooms. It never once entered my head that they could be Spicebush. I recently posted some pics to the IN Nature group on Facebook and those nice people clued me in.
Spicebush is a larval host of the Spicebush Swallowtail butterfly.
I would describe the bark as pretty smooth, with freckles.
The blossoms, as I said, are tiny, and hard to get in focus, at least for me.
Better pics here.
