Rhus glabra
smooth sumac
Shining sumac holds true to the genus, displaying vibrant fall color and hairy, edible fruits that can be steeped for a flavorful infusion. The fruits last into the winter, supplying a veritable feast for a variety of bird species. This suckering species is great for roadside plantings, fall color, and erosion control.
