Staghorn Sumac is the largest native Sumac, an open-spreading deciduous shrub and is noted for its brown hairs on young branches.  Large bright green toothed pinnate foliage with glaucous undersides turns attractive shades of yellow, orange, and red in fall.  The plants are dioecious, with tiny greenish-yellow flowers 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 typhina is a host plant for the Luna Moth and Spring Azure Butterfly.
