My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Fragrant Sumac

20 years ago

Hello All,

I recently discovered fragrant sumac in my garden. Since I am trying to develop a bird-friendly garden, I am thinking about keeping it, even though it is growing in some undesirable places. Can anyone tell me their experience with this plant? Do the birds really benefit from it? Do you enjoy its appearance once mature?

Any advice? Thank you!
