Harvested Sumac
The staghorn sumac in my elm bark basket was perfect for harvesting in my home state of Maine. To determine if the sumac is ready, taste a drupe (a fruit with a thin skin, fleshy body, hard stone and inner seed) before picking to insure that there is a tangy, lemon flavor.

This is an interesting series of posts …. I have seen these plants in New Brunswick when I lived there and had no idea what they were. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the sumac!
