Skunk Sumac

Skunk Sumac (Rhus trilobata) is a medium sized bush that produces small fruits that can be eaten fresh or dried, and the berries are commonly steeped in water to make a refreshing lemonade-like summer beverage. Leaves smell like skunk when crushed. These are 3rd year seedlings, 18 to 24 inches tall, bare root.
