Title: Sumac
Post by: Allyn T on July 09, 2021, 05:09:07 pm

How do you know when to harvest it? There is a bunch by my work and I want to try to make sumac-aid with it as well as grind some up for seasoning.

When the birds are eating them, they are ripe, but you may be too late!

Gather them in, should make a good red dye.  I've never tried the tea or seasoning , though.
