Poison sumac is a beautiful, relaxing plant to give your property a pleasant atmosphere with it’s vivacious brilliant red foliage.
Poison Sumac looks a little like the harmless Prairie Flameleaf Sumac tree that grows in the woods and on properties here-pretty Fall color...
Unfortunately, Oregon is a bit too far North for poison Sumac to grow-poison Ivy should be right at home there though-and it grows really fast-we could donate some seedlings to Portland’s homeless rest spaces for shade and windbrake plants...
“Poison sumac is a beautiful, relaxing plant...”
I was thinkin maybe raising africanized honey bees- or raising ‘emotional support velvet ants’ or ‘emotional support black widows’ or ‘emotional support scorpions’ on the property-
A couple of bee hives are also quite welcoming.
I was out on Sandy Hook NJ, which at one time was part of the NYC Harbor defenses — large mortar installations, etc.
It is covered with poison ivy, poison sumac, cactus, brambles, scorpions, and every other nasty thing you can think of. I’m sure there are no homeless people there.
