smooth sumac Rhus glabra Kingdom: Plantae FEATURES Division: Magnoliophyta Smooth sumac is a small, deciduous tree that may Class: Magnoliopsida grow to 20 feet tall with a trunk diameter of up to Order: Sapindales eight inches. The bark is light brown. The smooth twigs are red-brown or green-brown and covered Family: Anacardiaceae with a white coating. Leaves are arranged alternately ILLINOIS STATUS along the twigs. The pinnately compound leaves may have as many as 31 leaflets. Each leaflet is common, native lance-shaped and up to four inches long and two inches wide. The leaflet is toothed along the edges, smooth, green on the upper surface and white on the lower surface. Male (staminate) and female (pistillate) flowers may be on separate plants, the same plant or in the same flower. The small, green- white flowers develop in clusters. The fruit is a small, red drupe (a seed enclosed in a hard, dry material that in turn is covered with a ﬂeshy material). Drupes are covered with tiny hairs and develop in clusters. BEHAVIORS Smooth sumac may be found throughout Illinois. It grows in dry to moist prairies, roadsides, ﬁelds and © Guy Sternberg woods. Flowers are produced from June through July.

Rhus Glabra) Staghorn Sumac (Rhus Typhina
Weed Identification and Control Sheet: www.goodoak.com/weeds Smooth sumac (Rhus glabra) Staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina) DESCRIPTION: Sumac is native throughout eastern U.S. and southern Canada but occurs most commonly in east- ern U.S. on forest edges, abandoned fields and roadsides. Their interesting branching patterns, height, bright-red fall foliage and colony forming habit make these woody perennial shrubs of the cashew family an attractive option for screening in a landsccape setting. The bright red fruit clusters are an important winter food resource for many bird species and small mammals. Although both smooth and staghorn sumac are beneficial native shrubs, they can rap- idly form massive thickets in open woodlands, savannas and prairie settings, making them a target for control in these endangered ecocystems. The shade produced by sumac colonies can suppress native groundlayer vegetation and tree seedling germination. IDENTIFICATION: Both sumac species tend to form broad, spreading colonies. Smooth sumac tends to be wider than it is tall. Leaves are pinnately compound, lance-shaped and saw-toothed, with 7 to 31 leaflets. Leaves turn bright red to orange color in the fall. Both sumac species have stout branches that excude a milky sap when cut. Yellowish green flower clusters develop from late May into August. Fruit is a bright red spike containing many berrylike drupes. Smooth sumac twigs are nearly hairless, often covered with a whitish ‘bloom’ that can be ribbed off. Twigs of the staghorn sumac are velvety. The aboveground portion of the plant is relatively short-lived but roots persist and form new stems.

Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants a Gardener’S Guide for Missouri Landscaping with Native Plants a Gardener’S Guide for Missouri
Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants A Gardener’s Guide for Missouri Landscaping with Native Plants A Gardener’s Guide for Missouri Introduction Gardening with native plants is becoming the norm rather than the exception in Missouri. The benefits of native landscaping are fueling a gardening movement that says “no” to pesticides and fertilizers and “yes” to biodiversity and creating more sustainable landscapes. Novice and professional gardeners are turning to native landscaping to reduce mainte- nance and promote plant and wildlife conservation. This manual will show you how to use native plants to cre- ate and maintain diverse and beauti- ful spaces. It describes new ways to garden lightly on the earth. Chapter Four: Landscaping with Native Plants provides tools garden- ers need to create and maintain suc- cessful native plant gardens. The information included here provides practical tips and details to ensure successful low-maintenance land- scapes. The previous three chap- ters include Reconstructing Tallgrass Prairies, Rain Gardening, and Native landscapes in the Whitmire Wildflower Garden, Shaw Nature Reserve. Control and Identification of Invasive Species. use of native plants in residential gar- den design, farming, parks, roadsides, and prairie restoration.

Adequate provision of potable water to residential properties is crucial for their use and the issue was taken with the utmost seriousness by the City. City Council was advised of the situation and immediately sought answers to questions relating to the water supply concerns and how the problem might be addressed in a responsible and expedient manner. One of the primary concerns of the City Council was the condition of the aquifer that provides potable groundwater to many of the rural residential tracts in Wildwood.
