Staghorn Sumac
Staghorn Sumac
The Staghorn Sumac, Rhus typhina, is the most well-known sumac. Its branches resemble deer antlers. Staghorn sumac reaches 25 feet in height at maturity with an equal spread. It is not as tolerant of poorly drained soils as other sumacs. The large dark crimson – or rarely orange to yellow – pinnate leaves of this sumac have 15-31 narrow, leaflets that can be up to (6″) long. The large clumps form bright splashes of color along forest margins, road banks, and fencerows and in old fields over much of the Appalachians.
