Staghorn Sumac
(Rhus thyphina), a tree of the family Sumacaceae. The staghorn sumac reaches a height of 10–12 m. The large, oddly pinnate leaves turn red in autumn. The small, unisexual flowers are in dense pubescent panicles. The fruits are downy, reddish drupes. The staghorn sumac is native to the eastern part of North America. It is grown in gardens and parks. In the USSR the tree is broadly cultivated in the European portion and, less commonly, in Middle Asia. The leaves and bark contain tannins, which are used for tanning leathers. The somewhat sour fruits are used to make beverages. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
