I use maple for what I have around the yard. Watch the Sumac some is poison the ones with the shine leave . I know I found that out many years ago. As for willow the sap will give some a skin problem for some time also.

Thanks for all the informative responses fellas. I live within 20 miles of Jacksonville, I have lots of Staghorn Sumac on my place. If you need some send me a PM.

If your going to use sumac for a dye put the heads in some type of cloth bag when boiling. Otherwise your going to have a real mess.
