My chihuahua mix eats the bark off a fallen staghorn sumac at least once a day, and has shown no ill effects. The flowers of the tree are edible (for people) and contain lots of vitamin C.
yes
Dry staghorn sumac burns well when dry, but sumac wood is not very dense and does not have as the btu content per pound or per stick that hardwoods or even softwoods do. Staghorn sumac flowers are sometimes used by apiarists to "smoke" beehives, which helps to eliminate mites and other parasites from the bees. It is important not to burn poison sumac because the skin irritants can become airborne and enter the lungs, causing severe problems.
Most sumac species that I am familiar with (Staghorn sumac, winged sumac and smooth sumac) are all pioneer species that will grow almost anywhere. I have seen them growing in wetlands and uplands, though not in the very wettest areas. They live only about ten to twenty years, and by that time, other species tend take over.
NO
A staghorn fern is a fern.
They probably can telling that it is a plant but it would be harder for them to swallow it.
They are called staghorn because some species grow long and branch out much like a staghorn.
Staghorn calculi are large branched calculi composed of struvite
Horses can typically eat the bark of Sumac trees with no ill effects and it is not listed as being toxic. However it should be noted that if horses are allowed to strip bark off of trees it can and will kill the trees.
Im thinking its a staghorn sumac I just bought 1 from my local store it had no paper or anything to say what kind tree it was but after searching for 3-4 hours I think I finally found out what the name of my tree is
They like rotten cherries. I always see them under my cherry tree eating the the fallen fruits.
No. It is made from sumac.
