The invasive tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) and the beneficial native sumacs (Rhus sp.) not only resemble each other, they are commonly found growing together in disturbed areas. It is important to be able to identify these species so the invasive tree of heaven can be dealt with without impacting the important to pollinators and wildlife native sumacs. Tree of heaven is easy to tell apart from the sumacs once you know what to look for and this video covers several ways that can be used at different times of the year depending on if leaves, fruit, or flowers are present.

Thanks. I work to eradicate TOH from the Overton Park Old Forest in Memphis, and I have had a lot of trouble telling TOH from sumac. This helps a lot.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck on ridding the park of TOH. It takes a bit of time but it can be done.
On my property both Sumac and TOH grow alongside Black Walnut, which can also look similar. I look for the Walnuts forming just around the same time sumac will flower. Also everything in the Walnut Family has a pleasant aroma when crushed. EDIT: I see you've got that covered too, great job!
Thanks for the helpful video!
You are welcome! Glad you found it useful.
I recently noticed tree of heaven - ish plants in the google image in front of our property. I need to get out there and investigate. This will help!
Glad you found it useful! Hopefully it isn't TOH!
Thanks for this great info! Would love a video of sumac ID - thanks!
Stay tuned for a sumac ID video!
Sumac is highly prized in Mediterranean cuisine !
It’s great for weight loss too!
It is one of those spices most people have never heard of, but is quite good, and gaining in popularity.
Yes! Ty
I’ve used crushed sumac seed to spice up chicken. I use as a rub. It gives it a lemony citrus taste.
They can also be used to make a lemonade like drink.
@@BackyardEcology I gotta get that recipe. There’s enough sumac around here to drink it year round.

We have sumac all over our property but I've never seen the Tree of Heaven. I will have to watch out for it.
Tree of heaven is everywhere in eastern North America, unfortunately. It stands out once it starts to form fruit clusters.

Hey - I would enjoy a sumac vs sumac vs sumac video.
Thank you so much!
I have these trees that look very much like the tree of heaven. They do stink when cut, but I 've never seen them bloom, and have lived here since 2008. Is there a tree of heaven that spreads by rhizomes instead of seeds
Tree of heaven will root sprout like crazy if it is cut down or injured. It is a dioecious tree meaning it has male and female trees, so your trees could be male so they won't produce seeds. Regardless I would remove them as the males just pollinate female trees in another location. Tree of heaven is one of the worst invasives in North America.
Rancid Peanutbutter! Headlining Warp Fest in 2024? 😅
It would make a great band name!
Around here the Tree of Heaven is often referred to as the Chinese Sumac.
It has a few common names.
Are the red sumac fruit or seeds edible ?
Yes, although there isn't much to them. They are often used to make a lemonade like drink.
