Staghorn Fuzzy Sumac

Staghorn Sumac (Rhus typhina), often called Fuzzy Sumac, is a large, deciduous shrub or small tree native to eastern North America. It is named for its velvety, “fuzzy” branches that resemble deer antlers. This plant features pinnate leaves that turn stunning shades of red, orange, and yellow in the fall, making it a favorite for seasonal color. In summer, it produces upright clusters of small greenish flowers, followed by fuzzy red fruit that persists into winter, attracting birds and wildlife. Staghorn Sumac is drought-tolerant, thrives in poor soils, and is frequently used in naturalized landscapes and erosion control.
