Fragrant Sumac

Fragrant Sumac is a deciduous shrub native to North America, belonging to the Anacardiaceae family. It is known for its attractive trifoliate leaves that turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and purple in the fall. The plant produces small clusters of yellow flowers in early spring, followed by bright red drupes that persist into winter. This plant is often used for erosion control and wildlife habitat, as it forms dense thickets and its fruits provide food for birds.
