Anyone know what kind of tree/shrub this is?

I am not really sure what kind of shrub/tree this is, but they are all over our property. Anyone have any ideas? It doesn't seem to get much taller than 6 ft tall, but most of them are shorter than that. I am unsure if they can get taller, I just know that is about how big they are on our property.

Could it be sumac?

 

[okiemommy]

Yes! I think you're right! I think it is some species of sumac. It doesn't seem to be poison sumac, but one of these:






Rhus glabra L.


Or:


Rhus copallinum L.


Thank you so much for giving me something to go on! I had no idea. I didn't know that there was non-poisonous sumac.

Wow, the "berries" look brown - that's interesting! The sumac in our yard grows about 15' and has red berries, which the birds love - esp at the end of winter.

Odd but true: the other day, a hummingbird was checking out the red sumac clusters!
