Sumac buds

Another rhizome plant, the sumac is a very common sight any place the mower doesn't get to on a regular basis.  These plants grow very quickly, and once established are very hard to get rid of.  I understand that the berries are edible but I never tried it.  Maybe this autumn will be my chance!  I think it is very cool that the new leaves will bud right where the old ones dropped off.   And that will be very soon by the looks of these stems.
