  • Is Sumac Landscape Worthy? by Heather Zevetchin, Uconn Home & Garden Education Center
    Is Sumac Landscape Worthy? By Heather Zevetchin, UConn Home & Garden Education Center Driving down the road one is met with a spectacular sight of crimson red, conical-shaped fruits extending from various treetops in a sea of green. This is a telltale sign that you’ve just seen one of the three most popular sumac tree species. The fiery red berry clusters, called drupes, are observed on staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina), smooth sumac (R. glabra), and the flameleaf or shining sumac (R. copallina). Staghorn sumac drupe. Photo by Heather Zevetchin, 2021 These trees are perceived as an invasive, a nuisance that pops up unwanted, sprouting in gardens, pavement cracks, vacant lots, and along highways. Sumac is a member of the cashew family with 150 species worldwide and dozens of species native to the United States. These small trees are outstanding at controlling erosion, tolerating road salts, flourishing in all types of soil conditions from clay to gravel, and able to withstand a wide range of soil moisture conditions. Their ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere helps them thrive in polluted city air. Staghorn sumac gets its name from the soft fuzzy hairs adorning the stems that resemble young deer antlers. The berries are also fuzzy. A staghorn sumac in Montana made the National Register of Champion Trees in 2016. Yellow, orange, and scarlet leaf colors are seen in fall. The stems of smooth sumac, as the name implies, are hairless. This sumac usually grows in colonies developing in all directions from the mother plant. They are often found along roadsides and other low maintenance areas.

  • 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.

  • Great Lakes Bluff Seep System: Palustrine Subsystem: Shrubland
    Great Lakes Bluff Seep System: Palustrine Subsystem: Shrubland PA Ecological Group(s): Great Lakes Region Wetland Global Rank: GNR State Rank: S1 General Description The bluff face communities are characteristically open with a mixture of shrubs and sometimes with scattered trees. This is a very dynamic system and the structure of the vegetation depends largely on its successional status. Recently slumped areas are first colonized by bryophytes and Equisetum spp. (horsetails). As the substrate becomes more stable, and organic matter accumulates, graminoids, other herbs, and shrubs colonize the seep. Eventually, due to erosion from below and perhaps also because of the weight of the vegetation and organic matter, the entire community will slump or slide downslope and the cycle begins again. Physiognomic differences generally reflect different seral stages in this dynamic system. Common trees and woody species include shadbush (Amelanchier arborea), Canada hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), sugar maple (Acer saccharum), eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides), hop-hornbeam (Ostrya virginiana), round-leaved dogwood (Cornus rugosa), red-osier dogwood (C. sericea), alternate-leaved dogwood (C. alternifolia), speckled alder (Alnus incana), spicebush (Lindera benzoin), purple-flowering raspberry (Rubus odoratus) willows (Salix spp.), and staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina). Herbaceous species include zigzag goldenrod (Solidago flexicaulis), jewelweed (Impatiens pallida), field horsetail (Equisetum arvense), grass-of-Parnassus (Parnassia glauca), golden ragwort (Packera aurea), fowl mannagrass (Glyceria striata), golden-fruited sedge (Carex aurea) and brook lobelia (Lobelia kalmii). Exotic species include common reed (Phragmites australis), purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), and colt’s foot (Tussilago farfara). Rank Justification Critically imperiled in the state because of extreme rarity or because of some factor(s) making it especially vulnerable to extirpation from the state.

  • Plastid Genomes of the North American Rhus Integrifolia-Ovata Complex and Phylogenomic Implications of Inverted Repeat Structural Evolution in Rhus L
    Plastid genomes of the North American Rhus integrifolia-ovata complex and phylogenomic implications of inverted repeat structural evolution in Rhus L. Craig F. Barrett Department of Biology, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, USA ABSTRACT Plastid genomes (plastomes) represent rich sources of information for phylogenomics, from higher-level studies to below the species level. The genus Rhus (sumac) has received a significant amount of study from phylogenetic and biogeographic perspectives, but genomic studies in this genus are lacking. Rhus integrifolia and R. ovata are two shrubby species of high ecological importance in the southwestern USA and Mexico, where they occupy coastal scrub and chaparral habitats. They hybridize frequently, representing a fascinating system in which to investigate the opposing effects of hybridization and divergent selection, yet are poorly characterized from a genomic perspective. In this study, complete plastid genomes were sequenced for one accession of R. integrifolia and one each of R. ovata from California and Arizona. Sequence variation among these three accessions was characterized, and PCR primers potentially useful in phylogeographic studies were designed. Phylogenomic analyses were conducted based on a robustly supported phylogenetic framework based on 52 complete plastomes across the order Sapindales. Repeat content, rather than the size of the inverted repeat, had a stronger relative association with total plastome length across Sapindales when analyzed with phylogenetic least squares regression. Variation at the inverted repeat boundary within Rhus was striking, resulting in major shifts and independent gene losses. 10 February 2020 Submitted Specifically, rps19 was lost independently in the R. integrifolia-ovata complex and in Accepted 17 May 2020 Published 16 June 2020 R.

State of Maryland Physiographic Regions WHAT ARE NATIVE PLANTS? A native plant is a species that originates or occurs naturally in a particular region. As our local habitat is disturbed by development, non-native and invasive plants change the character of our landscapes. Although many naturalized but introduced plants occur in most regions, the native plants listed are species that existed in Maryland when the European settlers arrived, or they are cultivars of these species.
