Why plant Audubon® Staghorn Sumac?

A fiery autumn beauty! Staghorn Sumac is a deciduous shrub with year-round beauty. A shining native that supports our natural ecology! Their most notable feature of yellow-green flowers gives way to clusters of fuzzy, bright red berries attracting Northern Cardinals, nuthatches, grosbeaks, sparrows, and a host of many other birds to come for lunch. This shrub is the perfect balance between rugged and gracefully delicate with its vigorous growth and gorgeous foliage. It is often nicknamed ‘Velvet Sumac’ for its velvety twigs and clusters of hundreds of tiny soft yellow-green blooms at the tips of branches. Over-sized leaves give this eclectic native an almost tropical look. You can truly anticipate a dazzling show in the fall as the foliage transforms to vibrant red, copper, and orange tones. The female plants run the show in late summer by showing off tall pyramidal bright crimson fruit clusters that drift to burgundy in the fall and remain red through winter months! Turn this beauty into a new family tradition as the backdrop of all your family photos.

Audubon® Native Plants & Trees

Audubon is devoted to protecting birds and the places they need, while Bower & Branch is devoted to the growth of true native trees and plants–no cultivars or hybrids. Together, we strive to unite communities in conservation and inspire individuals to cultivate a better world for birds starting in their own backyards, balconies, or patios. By guiding and recommending trees and plants truly native and beneficial to your region, we can really start to make a difference.

What is the definition of Native?

“In the United States, a native plant is defined as one that was naturally found in a particular area before European colonization. Native plants are the foundation of a region’s biodiversity, providing essential food sources and shelter for birds, especially those threatened by the changing climate. Since native plants are adapted to local precipitation and soil conditions, they generally require less upkeep, therefore helping the environment and saving you time, water, and money.” – The National Audubon Society
