As I described in my previous post, Sumac is ready to harvest before the spring leaf-out. These
eight images display various features of the sumac in winter, which is harvest season. I can post other images for other seasons as they come up.
These images may be distributed with courtesy of notice, may not be given in exchange, and must include this notice in its entirety, copyright 2020 by
Stephen Marshall. Please write to comments.
