Fragrant Sumac

Range barely reaches north Florida.



Specimen shrub, border, windbreak. This is a spreading, somewhat sprawling shrub.

Not salt tolerant of inundation by salty or brackish water.



Some tolerance to salty wind but not direct salt spray.

Provides nesting, roosting and loafing cover for a variety of songbirds and game birds.

Its fruit may not be the first choice of many kinds of wildlife, which allows it to persist into mid-winter for emergency use when other sources of food are covered by snow. Its twigs and foliage provide good deer browse. (excerpted from Kansas Forest Service description)

Dry, somewhat open woods.

• Fall color, Showy fruits, Interesting foliage
