Shining Sumac is a native spreading deciduous shrub with shiny untoothed pinnate foliage that turns flame red in fall.  The plants are dioecious, with tiny greenish-yellow flowers blooming in pyramidal panicles in late spring to early summer.  Female flowers are followed by tight clusters of hairy maroon-brown berries that persist into winter.  Best performance with dry to medium well-drained acidic soils. 

Rhus copallinum is a host plant for the Red-Banded Hairstreak and Luna Moth.  Learn more about planting for butterflies with Georgia natives with this brochure.
