Smooth Sumac is a native deciduous shrub with an irregular spreading habit and shiny dark green pinnate foliage that turns attractive shades of bright orange and 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 glabra is a host plant for the Red-Banded Hairstreak.
