Fragrant sumac

Fragrant sumac is a deciduous shrub that grows from 2-4 feet tall and 6-10 feet wide.

The triple lobed leaves are medium green that turn attractive shades of orange, red and purple in autumn. Fragrant sumac is a totally non-poisonous plant. Tiny yellow flowers bloom at the twig tips in early spring, male catkins form in late summer and persist throughout the winter until eventually blooming in spring. Female flowers give way in late summer to small clusters of hairy, red berries which may persist into winter. Citrus scented fruit is attractive to wildlife.
