The Fragrant Sumac Rhus aromatica is a small shrub most commonly encountered on limestone uplands occasionally on acidic sites. It occasionally reaches tree size. Fragrant sumac is a pioneer speciesestablishing rapidly from seed after heavy disturbance particularly fire. Like other sumacs it forms clonal clumps but not as extensively as the other species. Native Americans used the bark of all sumacs as an astringent and leaves and bark can be used for tanning leather due to the high tannin content. |
