Sumach Tree

Question

How to tell if my variety is poisonous

Answer 1

Poison sumac will have broader, more irregular leaves, as they are a completely different genus than Rhus. Poison sumac is in the Genus Toxicodendron.

Sumac, or Rhus has very long pointed leaves that lack the "fuzz" that sumac may have.
