Rhus typhina, commonly known as Staghorn Sumac, is a hardy and striking deciduous shrub that adds texture and bold color to landscapes. This plant is known for its large, fern-like leaves that turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow in the fall, creating a spectacular seasonal display. In summer, Staghorn Sumac produces dense clusters of small, yellow-green flowers that eventually develop into bright red, fuzzy fruiting bodies, which persist through the winter and provide food for birds. The plant’s unique, velvety, antler-like branches give it its "staghorn" name, adding visual interest year-round. Staghorn Sumac thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it a great choice for naturalized areas, wildlife gardens, or as a striking specimen shrub.
