Sumac Care

Sumac is a deciduous shrub known for its flower panicles in spring followed by burgundy fruit clusters on female plants. The fruits support small mammals and birds. The textured foliage turns fiery shades of red, orange, or yellow in the fall. Sumac can be used as a focal point in a garden bed, wildlife planting, or container arrangement. Some types even make a useful groundcover for suppressing weeds.
