Rhus glabra
Common name: Smooth Sumac
Native plant
The best tall sumac for heavy clay soils, Rhus glabra consistently has great red fall color. Prefers a high and dry site. Will not grow in a marsh, so chances are if you see sumac in a marsh DO NOT TOUCH!! It is probably poison sumac! Smooth Sumac does tend to sucker, making it ideal for berm and new construction sites where screening is needed.
