Rhus copallinum
Common name: Shining Sumac
By far the most brilliant fall color of all sumacs that you would want to grow in your yard. The name “Shining” comes from the fact that the leaves are glabrous (hairless) and are very shiny in sunlight. Very site-sensitive, which means that it must be in a light, well-drained soil (sand is best) and full sun. I have grown it on heavy soils, and it gets a wilt that doesn’t totally kill it but makes a mess.
