Rhus hirta, commonly known as staghorn sumac, is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to eastern North America. It is recognized for its pinnately compound leaves, dense clusters of red berries, and velvety branches resembling deer antlers. The plant is drought-tolerant, thrives in poor soils, and provides food for wildlife. Its berries are used to make a tangy, lemon-flavored drink.
