Skunkbush is a colony-forming shrub that produces small yellow flowers in the spring. In the fall, this species has bright red berries and its foliage turns to vibrant hues of red, orange, and purple. Skunkbush is a favorite of pollinators; carpenter bees will tunnel into sumac stems for winter nesting habitat!
