Have you seen all the Sumac blooming?  This hedge is on the curve above Al's house, on Stonebriar.  There's also a beautiful copse of Sumac on the right as you approach the mailboxes.  

 

I have lots of field guides, and plant books, but I'm still not clear on whether this is Winged Sumac, Rhus copallina, or Smooth Sumac, Rhus glabra.  Winged Sumac has hairy twigs, and Smooth Sumac has smooth twigs.  As you can see, I didn't get close enough to see hairy or smooth.  They share the same geographical range, similar flowers and fruit.  I'm guessing Smooth Sumac, but since I'm not positive, I'm just going to identify it as SUMAC, Rhus spp.  

 

I do know that it's not Staghorn Sumac, Rhus typhina, that one has red flower clusters.  I'll post a picture when I get one.  I also know it's not Poison Sumac, Rhus vernix, that one has white berries, and is very uncommon.  It grows in wooded swamps.  Not likely to go there, but we've all heard of it.  

 

Just thought you'd like to know the Sumac part.  I love seeing them this time of year;  they're so pretty.  In the fall they will have reddish-brown velvety clusters of berries, equally pretty!!!

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
