Yellow anise is an evergreen shrub to small tree. Its dense foliage provides cover for birds and other wildlife.
Its lightly fragrant blooms appear in spring and summer. 
The entire plant — especially the leaves when crushed — emits an anise- or licorice-scented fragrance.
The bark is a source of anise oil, and the roots may be used like sassafras.
Partial to full shade (no direct afternoon sun for this one please!)
Grows to 10–20ft tall by 5–10ft wide.
Yellow Anise can be pruned to any desired shape, making it great for a buffer, screen or hedge, or used as a specimen plant.
The plant is relatively pest-free.
Not tolerate of salt or long periods of drought.
