'''''Rhus glabra''''' ('''Smooth Sumac''') is a species of [[sumac]] in the family [[Anacardiaceae]], native to [[North America]], from southern [[Quebec]] west to southern [[British Columbia]] in [[Canada]], and south to northern [[Florida]] and [[Arizona]] in the [[United States]] and [[Tamaulipas]] in northeastern [[Mexico]]. One of the easiest shrubs to identify throughout the year (unless mistaken for ''[[Poison_Sumac|Rhus vernix]]'', poison sumac, in the absence of mature fruit) smooth sumac has a spreading, open-growing [[shrub]] growing up to 3 m tall, rarely to 5 m. The [[Leaf|leaves]] are alternate, 30-50 cm long, compound with 11-31 leaflets, each leaflet 5-11 cm long, with a serrated margin. The leaves turn scarlet in the fall. The [[flower]]s are tiny, green, produced in dense erect [[panicle]]s 10-25 cm tall, in the spring, later followed by large panicles of edible crimson [[berry|berries]] that remain throughout the winter. The buds are small, covered with brown hair and borne on fat, hairless twigs. The bark on older wood is smooth and grey to brown. {{Inc| Rhus glabra, Linn. (Schmaltzia glabra, Small). Smooth Sumac. Shrub, to 15 ft. with glabrous and glaucous branches: lfts. 11-31. lanceolate-oblong, pointed, serrate, glaucous beneath, 2-5 in. long: fls. green, in dense panicles, to 10 in. long: fr. scarlet, viscid-pubescent. July; fr. in Aug., Sept. Var. laciniata, Carr. Lfts. pinnately dissected. This variety with its deeply and finely cut lvs. is very handsome; it is tenderer than the cut-lvd. form of the preceding species and does not grow so high. }} ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation===  ===Pests and diseases===  ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> File:Rhus glabra.jpg| Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
