Discover the captivating allure of Rhus copallinum, commonly known as Flameleaf Sumac, Shining Sumac, or Winged Sumac, perfect for enhancing natural and informal landscapes. This resilient species thrives in diverse environments, creating dense, shrubby covers with its prolific underground runners, offering shelter for birds and wildlife. Celebrated for its ornamental value, Shining Sumac showcases lustrous dark green foliage that transforms into a breathtaking orange-red spectacle in the fall, frequently adorning interstate highways and disturbed sites with vibrant color. It features tiny, greenish-yellow flowers in compact terminal panicles that bloom in summer, followed by striking red berry clusters, persisting into winter and attracting a variety of wildlife. Historically, different parts of the plant have been employed in traditional remedies, though caution is advised due to potential toxicity. Ideal for those desiring a low-maintenance yet visually stunning addition to their landscape.
