American Mountain-ash
The Mountain Ash, American, Sorbus americana, is a smooth-barked tree that can reach a height of 30 feet with a trunk 18 inches in diameter.  The crown is narrow, open and rounded at the top. This tree provides spring and summer interest, with white flower clusters in the spring, and then these blooms yield brightly colored clusters of red berries in the summertime.  Its dark green leaves resemble those of the sumac and turn orange and purple in the fall. The berries are a favorite wildlife food for many birds and mammals during the fall and winter months.  Mountain Ash berries can be eaten fresh, dried for later use, or used to make jellies and jams. Mountain Ash prefers acidic soil with good drainage and full sun to light shade; enjoys full sun but can be grown easily in shade. This winter hardy Mountain Ash tree is used as an ornamental in many yards and in cities.  This beautiful tree has a great resistance to smog related pollution. * Winter hardy * Food for wildlife * Pollution tolerant

Sumac - Fragrant - DetailsSumac - Fragrant - Sale Price: $57.05
The Fragrant Sumac, Rhus aromatica, is a small shrub, most commonly encountered on limestone uplands, occasionally on acidic sites. It occasionally reaches tree size. Fragrant sumac is a pioneer species, establishing rapidly from seed after heavy disturbance, particularly fire. Like other sumacs, it forms clonal clumps, but not as extensively as the other species. Fragrant sumac is a short-lived pioneer, which reproduces from seed or clonally via root suckers. Seed production is moderately abundant, and seeds are dispersed by birds. Lifespan is about 20-30 years, though clones can live substantially longer. Fruit is important as winter bird food. This is an important deer browsing species. The fruits, steeped in cool water, yield a refreshing drink, like lemonade. Native Americans used the bark of all sumacs as an astringent, and leaves and bark can be used for tanning leather, due to the high tannin content.
