Obviously you can see the colors have popped with the leaves.
It's something that really stands out in the fall.
It's just a beautiful eye-catching plant and the berries are absolutely fantastic.
So late summer into fall, I love to harvest sumac berries.
And so what I do is I just clip the tops here.
I always leave some on, but I will take kind of the top portion of the cone and you can see these are actually berries and they have they kind of look like little fuzz on the berries.
There's a tart, tangy, lemony flavor.
It is fantastic.
People use sumac in tea, in lemonade because of that lemony flavor.
I love to dry these berries, take them off the cones and then grind them up into sumac spice that I use as rubs on fish or chicken, really on anything.
Sumac is a fantastic kind of pop of that lemon flavor and it's very, very rich in nutrients as well.
