Smooth White Sumac Spirea
Rhus glabra
Smooth White Sumac, also known as: Mountain sumac, smooth sumac, upland sumac, scarlet sumac, sleek sumac, white sumac, Pennsylvania sumac, shoemake, vinegar tree.
Smooth White Sumac is a native species in the upper midwest. The large shrub spreads by root suckers to form large thickets from a single plant. They are coarse, sparsely branched plants with attractive pinnately compound leaves. Current year stems are smooth on Smooth White Sumac. When root suckers are eliminated, the plant can be grown as a loose, round headed, small tree with a single trunk. Upright panicles of reddish-brown fruit are formed at the tips of branches of pistillate plants and remain on all winter, providing interest. Foliage develops excellent fall coloration, ranging from orange, bright red to maroon. Can be used for holding steep slopes, or massing in areas where other plants will not grow.
Leaf: Alternate, pinnately compound, 12 to 18 inches long, 11 to 31 lanceolate leaflets per leaf, each 2 to 4 inches long with a serrated margin, dark green above, paler and finely hairy above.
Flower: Dioecious; small, with pale yellow petals, borne in a dense upright cluster up to 8 inches long, appearing in mid to late summer.
Fruit: A small (1/8 inch) reddish, round, finely hairy drupe borne in dense upright cluster. The panicles typically droop when mature in the fall and persist into winter.
Twig: Stout, lacking hairs and often with a bluish glaucous bloom; buds are small, rounded and covered with light brown hairs, nearly encircled by leaf scar.
Bark: Brown-gray and smooth, with numerous lenticels, developing scaly ridges with age.
Form: A shrub or small tree up to 10 feet with a short or multi-stemmed trunk and wide spreading, open crown.
