I have two in my garden so I'll have to check them out more closely.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433116418603812108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-66021632457161156112014-03-03T14:04:30.624-05:002014-03-03T14:04:30.624-05:00Mine looks like the staghorn sumac.

I love the beauty of it in the fall, but have always been told the seed head was poisonous. Must be an old wives' tale in Oklahoma. I must harvest my sumac this fall & experiment with your recipes! It spreads so prolifically here that I haven't dared to transplant it around the house - lest it become invasive & choke out other shrubs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
