What's my Name?

I don't know what these trees are called, but I have always wanted one, because in Atumn they are amazingly beautiful. The house where I saw this is next to a small railwayline & is on a rather blind bend, fortunately it isn't a busy road & I was pulled over as far I could be, taking this out of the car window! It was a very quick shot!

It's a Staghorn Sumac. Spectacular in autumn but reproduces by suckers and can be invasive. Lovely photo:)

[JackieR]

Keep it pruned, sumacs take over your lawn and your drains!! Lovely photo great colours

It's beautiful, best viewed in a neighbours garden by the sound of it!

The colour is beautiful :)

Several others have beaten me to it - sumacs line our local roadways and parks. They grow like snot - wouldn't recommend it for a hobby gardener.

[Babs]

This is an education - I have a neighbour with one of these. Pretty but when they drop they stain! Nice to know its name.
Very pretty shot.
