The berries of the flame leaf sumac are edible and can be used in jellies, preserves, or to make wine. This plant is considered the "red-headed cousin" of the more common staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina), which has similar fruit but lacks the delicate reddish foliage of flame leaf sumac.
The flame leaf sumac is a specimen shrub that needs room to spread and can be used in ornamental borders, mass plantings, or naturalized areas. This relative of the mango tree (Mangifera indica) gets its name from the red clusters of berries that quickly change from green to orange-red and finally to a glossy dark red as they ripen.
