Tree-fetish Tuesday #26
|
Rhus typhina - Staghorn Sumac |
This is an exotic looking little tree, growing in gardens all over England. It originates from eastern north America. The fuzzy, red drupes have a taste rather like sherbet, and can be used to make a kind of pink lemonade.
They are also very useful for dyers - yielding several different pigments and a mordant as well.
