Rhus typhina -Staghorn Sumac

There is a hard-to-miss, large thicket of Staghorn Sumac - Rhus typhina - along the edge of the driveway towards the house and dumpster. These are an interesting species, feel the twigs - they feel hairy and soft like newly forming deer antler (or Staghorn). In the same family as Poison Ivy, these do not cause rashes.
