Also known as Shining, Flameleaf, Mountain, Dwarf, Wing-rib, Black, or Upland Sumac, this deciduous shrub or small tree grows 11 to 18 feet tall. Its large, compound leaves with dark green leaflets turn flame red in autumn. It also produces tiny, greenish-yellow flowers in late spring to early summer and berry-like clusters in the fall. This ornamental plant spreads widely, growing in full sun, and in dry, rocky, or poor soils.
