Staghorn sumac
🗓 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).
Berries make a great tea; they will be furry and bright red when ready (usually in late summer/early fall).
