Rhus trilobata (Three Leaf Sumac) is characterized by its three-lobed, aromatic leaves, which turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow in the fall. The plant typically grows in dense thickets, reaching heights of up to six feet. Inconspicuous greenish-yellow flowers appear in spring, followed by clusters of small, red berries that persist into winter. Three Leaf Sumac plays a vital ecological role in its native habitat, providing food and habitat for a variety of wildlife species. Its berries are a valuable food source for birds and small mammals, while its dense foliage provides shelter and nesting sites. Additionally, the plant's root system helps stabilize soils and prevent erosion, making it well-suited to arid environments.
