Additional Notes about Lacette™ fragrant sumac:


Of special value to many native pollinators.

The 'aromatic' in the species name refers to the leaves and stems rather than the flowers.

Berries are traditionally used by indigenous peoples to make a tart, lemonade-like beverage rich in vitamin C.  The dried berries can be ground and used as a spice in dishes.
