TN Nursery - Smooth Sumac Plant

Welcome to TN Nursery YouTube channel. Today, let's talk about Smooth Sumac. Smooth Sumac is a US indigenous plant used primarily as emergency food for wildlife in the wintertime. Its species also serve as great organic decorative plants and shrubbery due to the vivid crimson foliage that appears during each year's fall season. It rarely exceeds 10 to 15 feet, with each limb having compound leaves that can reach a total length of 24 inches at full maturity. Young leafage is narrow or round at the base and extends to tips that graduate into sharp points with fine-toothed edges. It is a versatile plant that thrives in any well-drained soil. Its bright red color and in some cases orange or yellow depending on the plant subtype— its bright, beautiful array of colors makes it a valuable addition to any group of landscaping plants. These plants grow more than 8 to 12 feet at maturity, sometimes growing as long as 15 feet. Among the uses of the fruit from these trees are beverages and spices. They can also be used for dyes, and at one point, sumac was used for medicinal purposes. The plants are known for their beautiful colors, valuable fruits, and hospitality to wildlife. Some plants are highly resistant to drought conditions and are often found along roadsides, fence rows, railroad rights-of-way.
