(Fragrant Sumac)

Fragrant sumac is a deciduous low, broad-spreading shrub whose branches turn up at the tips. Its fuzzy stems are fragrant when bruised and three-parted green leaves turn vivid shades of orange, yellow and red in fall. Small yellow flowers in spring give rise to dry red fruits in the fall, which attract birds. The cultivar 'Gro-Low' is a popular dwarf form of this dense shrub. Native to eastern North America, this fast growing, drought tolerant plant can be used as a ground cover or to hold steep...

(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.

(Skunkbush Sumac)

A low deciduous shrub that offers attractive flowers in spring and bright fruits and foliage in fall, skunkbush sumac is native to western North America. In mid-spring before the leaves emerge, conspicuous clusters of pale yellow flowers appear at the stem tips. Small berries follow, ripening red in late summer. Resembling poison ivy foliage, the downy three-lobed leaves are mildly glossy and medium to dark green. The leaflets have blunt-toothed edges. Bruised leaves release a malodorous scent....

(Staghorn Sumac)

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 yellow in fall. It is fully deciduous, very hardy and tends to spread forming large colonies over time. The staghorn reference in its common name refers to its stems and leaf petioles which have a fuzzy brown surface, much like that of deer antler velvet. Wild populations are common and tend to inhabit open forests and forest...

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...
