  2. Sumac Tree • Sumacs are shrubs and small trees that can reach a height of 1–10 metres (3.3–33 ft). • The leaves are spirally arranged; they are usually pinnately compound, though some species have trifoliate or simple leaves. • The fruits form dense clusters of reddish drupes called sumac bobs. The dried drupes of some species are ground to produce a tangy purple spice.

  3. The flowers are in dense panicles or spikes 5–30 centimetres (2.0–12 in) long, each flower very small, greenish, creamy white or red, with five petals.
