It is especially useful in attracting birds to naturalized yards. Growth is rapid. Usually in clumps of several to many individuals in a clone, rarely more than 25 stems in one clone. Sumac will often be found within the first year following fire. Fruit is important as winter bird food. This is an important deer browse species. Seed production is moderately abundant, and seeds are dispersed by birds.

Lifespan is about 20-30 years, though clones can persist for centuries.
