    Our flameleaf sumac (Rhus lanceolata) offers the same glorious fall colors; it’s one of the few dependable sources of color we have. It’s wonderful to see yours already turning: so beautiful!

      Thank you, Linda. The leaves here are dropping fast, and with rain forecast for the next couple days, a lot will come down. Dormancy is upon us!

    They are always the first to show off! Love them.
    • Eliza Waters says:

      Thank you, Dale. A bit aggressive and persistent in the garden, but I love its form in all seasons. 🙂

        Yes, they are quite invasive. But so spectacular outside in parks 🙂

    I love the name. It must be the tree with the most leaflets on one branch.
    • Eliza Waters says:

      October 12, 2025 at 3:28 pm

      Thanks, Alice. It’s a pretty one, for sure. 🙂

    Sumac always turns a brilliant color in the fall! You’ve captured its variations from yellow and gold to red and orange — mighty pretty, Eliza!

      Thank you, Tom. A pest of a tree, but I love it all the same. 🙂
