Staghorn sumac
📍 2331 Lakeshore Road, Grafton, Wisconsin
🗓 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).
Although the berries can be found from July-April, they're at their best in August. The shoots and branch tips can be collected in May and June.
