Thank you for this video. I was on a bike path in Burlington Vermont, foraging for raspberries, when I noticed this tree and I wondered what it was. It was then, I described what I thought I was seeing to KZread search engine, and your video came up.

I had one pop up on my garden boarder, and it being such a beautiful plant, I didn't have the heart to yank it out. Thank you for the info.

I nearly yanked out mine until I realized it wasn't an invasive ailanthus.

Nice video, I have a field of sumac up here in Nova Scotia..I use the stuff alot .sumac wine is the best homemade drink along with the non alcoholic juice drink. I heat the clusters in hot water probably reducing health benefits but good flavor and rich red color.

Slow cook on your stove with the lowest heat setting in olive oil or water all day you can use medicinally or culinary and you can add garlic cloves too or other spices, sumac is a fun herb. Taste buds really like sumac!

Very beautiful. Up until recent years, I was told this was poisonous. We have it growing in our backyard.

yes one variety of sumac is poisonous so beware and make a few reaserch before consuming

Finally someone is not trying to kill this plant!... will it grow in the desert?

they're very tolerant of heat but I don't know how well they'll handle the lack of water

I thank you for the info., and wish that I knew about this plant years ago when I got some starts to grow one. All I knew was it is a cool looking plant/tree. The first year of growth, a neighbor ask if it was a maryjane plant. I told him that I didn't know what it is. But that it wasn't maryjane (pot) for sure. Well couple weeks later the cops show up, and say they are looking for someone running from an accident. I watched from inside my house as they seem more interested in the Sumac than anything.

Your approach to harvesting is inspiring.

I picked some on a city plot of land in Boston 🔥 great video.

I just finished reading Braiding Sweet grass and I immediately recognised the honourable harvest in your action!! I love that book so much and it's really nice to see another example of someone following the guidances, as I'm trying to learn to do it too.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of this very interesting plant!

Thank you for sharing this really helpful information with me 😊

I offer extra water if dry out, some of my compost from garden and I say thank you to the plant & all other plants i take from. Great educational video. Thank you.

New sub, so excited to know ur channel exists 😊💙

I need a girl like this...for real! I'm an Animist Folk Heathen, but I slack on some things that I shouldn't. I just foraged some Sumac, and only considered the Copperheads that might ruin my week.

Love this 💗 Thank u for sharing

Beautiful presentation and presenter. Will try to plant this in my sunny garden, the concept of asking permission touched my heart, will try that connection with plants. hanks

Interesting. Thanks

How well do these grow in pots? And will the running roots escape pots through drainage pot holes?

thank-you so much for sharing your plant offering ritual......we all need to adopt this awareness. is it ok to transplant the sumac's shoots?

they like lots of water after transplant and are very finnicky for a while after till they establish some decent roots, early spring is usually the best time to transplant.

I transplanted this plant into my yard, and it has grown into a small stand of about ten trees. It gets flowers, but has never produced the berries. Do the males plants also get flowers that don't turn into fruit?

In Ontario begging of July the berries are up. When is a good time to pick them up? There are hundreds in my area…

I’m on 60 acres of creek lands and this stuff is everywhere. We were told growing up that it was poison and would break you out.

how dark red will it be when its ripe? i find a lot of the ones with a little bit of green on the fruit taste bitter and idk if theyre fully ripe. however there is plenty of "dead" looking sumach branches where the fruit looks old and black and grey. another thing that concerns me though is a lot of other plants in the area also have similar "dead" looking limbs or they have a white hairy looking mold? growing underneath where leaves start to grow out of plants. is the area just sick?

'presence of other beings' Shall we open our heart to fallen angels? What shall be our deciding factor; whether or not we want to transgress Moral law?

these have been poping up in my yard out of no where like weeds, I've never seen them in my town anywhere in my 38 years. i thought they where an invasive species of weed. i have been tearing them out i had no idea it's Sumac.

I was waiting for her to say she then drops some acid and waits for the plants to talk back to her.

Not the first time I've heard of what she's doing. First Nations used to harvest what's called "Fiddleheads" early spring and they would harvest a third or so of them and give the plant a blessing with tobbacco leaves.

When interacting and asking for permission to harvest, what can you do to persuade it if it says no?

persuasion is not exactly part of consent, is it ;) coming back day after day and maybe helping it with shooing some pests or something will build the relationship needed for them to agree to help you.

Persuasion, if honest and informative could help to obtain consent, however I agree if motivations and methods are facetious, you may not truly be obtaining consent. Maybe an insect net and some water on hot days would be reasonable persuasion?

Please be careful everyone who says they’re going to plant this. They spread from runners and they spread like CRAZY. Very invasive.

Thank you very much for the info. I just spent a month digging up and chopping a bamboo plant out of my garden which spread its running rhizomes everywhere. I was about to plant this Staghorn Sumac in its place until I read your comment. Thank you so very much for the information. ❤😊

I am appalled at the sarcastic comments made about this young woman's personal Spiritual practice. How incredibly disrespectful to someone who is causing you no harm.

The worst part is that the people acting the worst are actually trying to shove their spiritual beliefs down everyone's throat, while criticizing her for beliefs that are less silly and harmful than just about anything they believe. Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, but boy do they love to be the ones to cast the first stone. At least we have some evidence that plants seem to do better when treated and spoken to kindly. This belief seems relatively wholesome and harmless compared to most common religions, to which people are killing each other to this day over.

Well, we have undeniable proof that these trees grow these berries. The same can't be said of your god creating these trees or anything else. We can't even get the guy to come down for a word. Your thought process here is a bit like thanking god for surviving an extremely complex surgery, and criticizing people for thanking the highly skilled surgeon at all. "Haha, how stupid to thank the doctor that saved me, I only thank my god because he created the surgeon. He created everything." Very closed minded and ungrateful.

Staghorn might be the most invasive woody plant on earth. They keep on moving along year after year through roots.
