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.
Not all sumac plants are poisonous. Some varieties, like the staghorn sumac, are safe to touch and even edible. However, there are some species of sumac, like poison sumac, that can cause skin irritation or other harmful effects if touched or ingested. It is important to properly identify the type of sumac plant before handling or consuming it.
NO
Sumac plants can vary in height depending on the species, but they generally reach between 3 to 10 feet tall. Some species, like the staghorn sumac, can grow even taller, reaching up to 15 feet in optimal conditions. These plants typically have a bushy growth habit and can spread wide as well. Overall, their height can be influenced by factors such as soil quality, water availability, and sunlight.
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, horses should not eat sumac as it can be toxic to them. Sumac plants contain compounds that can be harmful to horses if ingested, leading to symptoms such as gastrointestinal upset, colic, and potentially more serious health issues. It is best to keep sumac plants away from areas where horses graze.
They are called staghorn because some species grow long and branch out much like a staghorn.
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.
