(Lemonade Berry)
Here's a California native shrub sure to gain your admiration and curiosity. Lemonade berry produces sticky, hairy, salmon-red fruits that may be crushed and used to make a tasty beverage.

(African Sumac)
Excellent for providing shade in warm and arid regions, African sumac has fine, dark foliage. Its twigs are reddish brown while the smooth, sandy-brown bark cracks open to reveal an orange underlayer. This rounded but spreading, evergreen small tree is native to mild southern Africa.

Very ornate, feathery yellow foliage is a hallmark of the Tiger Eyes staghorn sumac. Cultivar 'Bailtiger' also displays a handsome red fruit spike and yellow and orange fall color. A dwarf, upright but spreading shrub with a "flat top", it is native to much of eastern North America; this selection is a mutation of the cultivar 'Laciniata'.
Although the bark is smooth and sandy brown, younger twigs are more reddened with a brown fuzz. In late spring the chartreuse foliage appears. Leaves are...

A deciduous, upright, colonizing, large shrub, it is native to much of eastern North America. It often looks like a multi-stemmed, flat-canopy small tree.
Although the bark is smooth and sandy brown, younger twigs are more reddened with a brown fuzz. In late spring the dark green leaves...

(Cutleaf Staghorn Sumac)
Large, ferny leaves comprised of many fine, deeply cut (laciniate) leaflets are the crowning glory of this more elegant cultivar of staghorn sumac. In fall, the deep green leaves of 'Laciniata' turn eye-catching shades of flaming red. The plants are slightly less vigorous than standard sumac, which is actually a benefit.
A common eastern North American shrub or small tree, staghorn sumac produces an umbrella-like crown of feathery foliage in summer that turns radiant shades of orange, red and...
