Asian and North American
My Asian and American species of Sumac are growing in close proximity of each other. The American species, Smooth and Staghorn, have excellent, reddish fall color. The Chinese Sumac is a greenish-yellow.
Sumac Pine
While the Smooth Sumac are changing their leaf color, the Pitlolly Pines remain green. Both of these plants are fast growing, but the Pitch x Loblolly Hybrid Pines go vertical, while the Smooth Sumac go horizontal.
Chinese Sumac
Chinese Sumac has only been marginally hardy in my Iowa location. After the main stem died from a bad winter, there have been a lot of suckers popping up.
