sumacs

Red-berried bushes

Sumacs are shrubs and small trees with compound leaves that turn brilliant red in autumn.

The plants produce dense clusters of fuzzy red berries.

Some species yield spices or tannins used in leather production.

Poison sumac, despite the name, is more closely related to poison ivy than to true sumacs.

The singular is sumac.
