Shining Sumac

Rhus copallinum

Its glossy, pinnate leaves turn brilliant scarlet in fall, among the most vivid fall colour of any native shrub, persisting well into the season.

  • Colony-forming shrub with glossy, lustrous foliage throughout summer
  • Greenish-yellow flower clusters in late summer attract pollinators
  • Persistent red fruit clusters provide winter food for birds
  • Highly tolerant of poor, dry soils; excellent for difficult sunny sites
