Eliza Waters 
Beauty from nature 😊
Esp. beautiful this time of year, fall is so colorful in New England.
Beautiful 💗
Thank you, Karen. It wows me every time I see it. 🙂
Gorgeous!
Thank you, Alys!
I really like the way the red of leaves.
So glorious this time of year, a real show-stopper!
RED! Such rich color they offer us. That said, we have them in the yard and they are a bit “pushy”. 🙂
Yes, that color comes at a price. I’m forever cutting sprouts all around it, but I still love having it in the yard. 🙂
Fabulous
Merci, Sheree!
De rien Eliza
I have come across Staghorn Sumac mentioned in novels, so am very pleased to have a clear (and beautiful) visual of it 🙂
It is stunning in the fall and the fruit are eaten by birds in the winter. A great native. Thanks, Anne.
Beautiful! We do not have any sumac on the property, but in the midwest we had a lot of it and there would be a ring of red everywhere I looked. I was at the local greenhouse this week checking out the sale table, and they were selling sumac plants. I guess I never thought of buying sumac because it was always there. 🙂
True, it is ubiquitous. I’ve found it doesn’t transplant very well. Being stoloniferous, it spreads and also seeds like crazy, but I still love it. I just weed or cut what comes up where I don’t want it.
Beautiful! Sumac can always be counted on for a splash of bright red in the fall!
Yes, indeed. A blaze of glory!
While so many of the tree leaves have been rather dull this fall, the sumac along the sides of the roads has been brilliant and really stands out!
Yes, so grateful for that brilliance!
Feathery brilliance……
A favorite this time of year. 🙂
I remember Sumac growing wild in the PA mountains.
It really blazes!
Sumac, oak and other late fall foliage are some of my favorites
They extend the season beautifully. I’m enjoying the various perennial foliage as well. A lovely time of year.
These are always the first to show off their Autumn dress!
Dressed up and ready to party! 😉
Yes!!
And it’s on fire. Beautiful!
Thank you, Sandy. It feels that way!
Hi Eliza. One of my favourites. Unfortunately ours almost died in the drought last year and is now just a spindly single stem.
MJ
It is a beauty. They are pretty tough, hopefully, yours will regenerate.
The best roadside fall color! Have you ever tried the berries?
We tried making ‘lemonade’ once… kinda meh. I’ll stick to real lemons. 😉
So often that is the result!
We have at least two native sumacs that give us some autumn color, but not this one. My goodness, what a red!
It is probably our brightest native shrub. Thanks, Linda!
Very pretty — and I can see why it caught your attention, Eliza. Do you know if its leaves are poisonous?
No, they won’t give you a rash like poison sumac. The fruit is edible, but very tart!
Thanks for that info!
A gorgeous specimen!
Thank you, Hien! Looking down at it from the second floor wows me every time. 🙂
Lovely! They put on a spectacular show.
Thanks, Belinda, they surely do, going out in a blaze of glory!
That’s a statement!
Our boldest shrub! 🙂
Isn’t this gorgeous!
Thank you, Cindy!
Love seeing the sumac here and there … such a bright pop of color!
They are quite flashy, I love their vibrance. 🙂
These are fantastic for autumn colour. 😃
Do you have them there? They really are a dramatic color in the fall.
Yes, they grow here too, although only in small spots here and there. We’d love to get some established in the garden one day. 😃
If you get a chance, gather seeds. They are tough to transplant for some reason.
Thanks for the tip Eliza!
I love this shrub/tree!
Great fall color and fruit that persists in winter for the birds, I love it, too.
Such a beautiful plant, year round.
Indeed, it is. Thanks, Susan.
Beautiful
Thank you!
