Staghorn Sumac

Rhus typhina

"The Staghorn Sumac, `Rhus typhina,' features branches that resemble deer antlers. The most well-known sumac, Staghorn can reach up to twenty-five feet tall at maturity with an equal spread. This variety is no as tolerant of poorly drained soils as others. Its leaves are dark crimson and pinnate, having fifteen to thirty-one narrow leaflets that can reach up to six inches long. When grown in large clumps, they provide splashes of color along forest margins, road banks and fencerows over a majority of the Appalachian Mountains."
