Smooth White Sumac

Smooth White Sumac (Rhus glabra) is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to North America, known for its smooth, slender branches and distinctive white or pale berries. Its pinnate green leaves turn vivid shades of red, orange, and purple in the fall, providing striking seasonal interest. The plant produces clusters of small yellow-green flowers in early summer, followed by its characteristic berry-like drupes, which are a valuable food source for wildlife. Adaptable and drought-tolerant, Smooth White Sumac is often used for erosion control, naturalized plantings, and adding texture and color to landscapes.
