Still a few Sumacs going red. I use the branches of the Sumac to make my spiles for tapping the Sugar Maples for sap in the spring.

Nice color! The Native tribes used the berries on the ends of the branches for dying purposes. We have Sumacs around here and they are some of the most colorful in the fall. Thanks for sharing!

Yes... many uses for the flowers

We have these two but I didn't know what they were called:)
Thanks for a bit of education:)
And for the pic, of course:)

I never knew what they weee called either until I asked a few years ago. Now I have them growing in my yard after transplanting a few seedlings.
