This little tree is planted alone or in groups in parks and gardens where it brings a touch of originality. It is advisable not to plant too close to buildings as it produces many runners.
The species is dioecious, so it is necessary to have a plant of each gender for it to bear fruit.
The latex of Virginia Sumac is toxic and contact with the leaves and fruit can cause a skin reaction, be sure to wear gloves when handling it. - Related Categories
