Sumac - Flameleaf The Flameleaf Sumac, Rhus copallina, is a shrub or occasionally a small tree. It is a prolific sprouter after a fire. White-tailed deer also use it as a browse. It is widespread in open uplands along fence rows and in waste places. When left alone it will often form thickets. Leaves have a winged axis and turn flame red to dark purple in the fall, hence the common name. Fruit matures in late summer remaining attached into winter and is eaten by many species of birds and white-tailed deer.
