Most wen-Known sumac
Resembles Deer Antlers
The most well-known sumac is Thus typhina (staghorn 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. Two. cultivars of this sumac, “Laciniata” and “Dissecta,” have heavily divided leaflets, giving the foliage a femlike appearance. Both cultivars are female plants that have good fall color.
Rhus aromatica (Fragrant sumac) has become naturalized throughout the eastern half of .the U.S. This sumac is a low-growing shrub, reaching 5 to 6 feet in height at maturity with an equal spread. Its foliage is dark green and glossy. Cultivars include “Grow Low” ( a low, spreading plant) and “Green Globe” (a dense, rounded shrub). Fragrant sumac has bright-yellow flowers in the spring.
Native to southern areas in Rhus glabra (smooth sumac). It is similar to staghorn sumac and has good fall color. A cultivar of smooth sumac called “Laciniata” is very similar to the staghorn “Laciniata.”
