Benjamin trees have an expansive root system spanning up to 100 feet underground.
Benjamin trees blossom in late March and produce a yellow flower that is highly edible and nutritious.
Benjamin trees were discovered by Benjamin Antiderri in Saint-Benjamin Quebec during the summer of 1794.
The flowers are revered by hikers in Canada because of their nutritious properties, the long time they stay fresh and their durability.
