Staghorn sumac
📍 2026 Independence Dr, Mt Pleasant, MI 48858, USA
🗓 Season: August · September
🔍 When is it ripe?
Deep red, fuzzy, cone-shaped seed clusters. Ripe in August–September. Soak clusters in cold water for 20–30 minutes, strain, and sweeten for pink 'sumac lemonade'. Very high in vitamin C. Do not confuse with white-berried poison sumac (wetlands, white berries = avoid).
Staghorn sumac growing on the shoulder of the road. Best picked after a dry spell, makes great pink lemonade.
