wildwanderingirl December 10, 2011 / 11:53 pm Hi! And thanks for commenting. I am not certain but I think our sumac is Smooth Sumac (Rhus glabra), shown here: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/34077/ The leaves described certainly do look like what we enjoy up here (Zone 6). So I would bet that’s the correct species 😉
Steve Schwartzman December 11, 2011 / 2:28 am You’re right, that does seem to be it. I was surprised to learn that that species grows in northeast Texas, apparently even as close as two counties away from where I am, though I don’t know how common it is there.
