Description
Rhus aromatica, commonly known as aromatic sumac or fragrant sumac, is a deciduous shrub native to North America. It typically grows between 3 to 10 feet in height and spreads out with a dense, rounded canopy, excellent for controlling erosion on slopes, banks and roadcuts.The plant is characterized by its trifoliate leaves, which are aromatic when crushed, and its distinctive reddish to purple fall color. In spring, Rhus aromatica produces small, yellow-green flowers arranged in dense clusters, followed by bright red, berry-like drupes that mature in the late summer and fall.
Aromatic sumac is valued for its adaptability and resilience, thriving in a range of soil types, including dry and rocky conditions. It is commonly used in landscaping for its attractive foliage, which provides year-round interest with its vibrant fall color and winter seed heads. Additionally, Rhus aromatica serves ecological purposes, offering food and shelter to various wildlife species. Its aromatic leaves have also been historically used in traditional remedies and crafts, adding to the plant's cultural significance.
