Description
Rhus trilobata, Squaw Bush Sumac is a very tidy looking deciduous shrub. It has a very attractive arching habit and some of the most beautiful fall color in warmer drier climates. Rhus trilobata is native from Oregon, down through California and Baja, across to the Rocky Mountains and down to Texas. It likes sun to part shade. It looks tidier in more sun. It is very drought tolerant. It looks very similar to poison oak but without the irritating qualities of it. Indians used the berries as a mordant in dyes. Kearney and Peebles also say the Indians eat the berries. McMinn says that they made a tea like pink lemonade out of them. (Have some Skunk Bush tea...) IF YOU SENSITIVE TO POISON OAK THIS PLNAT CAN CAUSE SOME PROBLEMS IF YOU DRINK THE TEA!
