Shining Sumac (Rhus copallinum) sapling Young tree/shrub growing at a disturbed oak-hickory-forest edge. <br /> <br /> This might seem like a boring, insignificant plant--but I&#039;m very excited to see it on my land. We just recently started to lay down some ground cover (and soon will be planting native seeds and plants/trees) in order to rehab the areas that we disturbed whilst making our driveway and housepad. I&#039;m not sure if my instincts are improving when it comes to plants and their habitats, but this species was on my wishlist for trees I wanted in this EXACT location. I was holding out until fall to purchase any as they are best planted in the dormant season (autumn). This week, I decided to see what plants had decided to pop up under the hay groundcover that we spread in late winter, and I was surprised by 4 of these beauties in the locations in which I had hoped to plant! I am thrilled!<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/79370/shining_sumac_rhus_copallinum_sapling.html" title="Shining Sumac (Rhus copallinum) sapling"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3231/79370_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=4FavuX5maXFfNxBjxK3yQXiOKgk%3D" width="200" height="134" alt="Shining Sumac (Rhus copallinum) sapling Young tree/shrub growing at a disturbed oak-hickory-forest edge. <br /> <br /> This might seem like a boring, insignificant plant--but I&#039;m very excited to see it on my land.
