Rhus hirta
staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina)
Staghorn sumac is a common sight on our New England roadsides, rising from the brush with tall stems bearing huge, conical clusters of densely fuzzy fruit. The fruits and foliage rival the invasive burning bush for fall color, and the species will establish just about anywhere, suckering to form a large patch over time.
