Interesting Notes about Laceleaf Staghorn Sumac:

Rarely seen as one shrub, the native species will usually colonize into thickets. It prefers to grow in well-drained soils and can handle poor quality soils. The species spreads vigorously, though hybrids are less aggressive and easily controlled. All parts of this shrub are toxic if ingested and foliage may cause skin irritation.
