Summary of Invasiveness
Top of pageR. typhina thrives in a variety of habitats, including disturbed sites, such as old field margins, roadsides, and fence rows. It also grows singly or in large colonies on the edge of wooded areas or more commonly on dry rocky soil along ditch banks and abandoned fields (Doust and Doust, 1988). R. typhina sprouts easily and grows rapidly, which can eliminate or reduce the abundance of many other species that cannot persist in the shade it creates. For this reason it has been identified as a weed or invasive in the USA (Uva et al., 1997; USDA-NRCS, 2009) and in the Czech Republic (Mollerova, 2005).

Notes on Taxonomy and Nomenclature
Top of pageThe genus Rhus consists of ca. 200 to 250 species (Wannan and Quinn, 1991). In North America, the genus Rhus is divided into two subgenera: the poisonous and the non-poisonous. The poisonous group contains poison oak (Rhus toxicodendron), Western poison oak (Rhus diversiloba), poison ivy (Rhus radicans), and poison sumac (Rhus vernix) [Toxicodendron vernix]; all of which contain a virulent, but selective contact poison called urushiol and produce poisonous white berries. Among the non-poisonous are the fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica), dwarf or winged sumac (Rhus copallina), smooth sumac (Rhus glabra), lemonade bush (Rhus integrifolia), southweatern sumac (Rhus microphylla), sugar bush (Rhus ovata), squaw berry (Rhus trilobata), and the staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina); all of which contain red berries when ripe (and are sometimes inaccurately and collectively called red sumac). In China, the genus Rhus only has six other species, which are all very morphologically different from R. typhina.
Description
Top of pageR. typhina is a large, deciduous shrub to small tree, native to Canada and the USA, which can attain a height of 30-35 feet. Its root systems tend to be shallow and wide-spreading. It has pinnate leaves that can grow 12 to 24 inches long and are composed of many paired 2- to 5-inch-long leaflets, with a single terminal leaflet. The leaflets are dark-green and smooth above, and pale beneath, except along the midrib, turning bright colours before falling off in the autumn. The appearance of its branched stems, which are covered with soft hairs, resembles that of deer antlers. Compact clusters of greenish-yellow flowers bloom from June to July. Fruit is produced on plants 3 to 4 years old, maturing from August to September. The fruiting head is a compact cluster of round, red, hairy fruits called drupes. Each drupe measures ¼ inch in diameter and contains one seed. Each cluster of drupes may contain 100 to 700 seeds. There are about 60,000 seeds per pound. Because most populations of R. typhina are dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants, only the female plants produce seeds. Occasionally, plants are found which have both male and female flowers. The germination of its seeds is enhanced by their passage through the digestive system of rabbits, ring-necked pheasants, and quail. The presence of fire also encourages increased germination (USDA-NRCS, 2009).
Distribution
Top of pageR. typhina is a native of eastern USA and north Canada, with a current range extending north to Quebec, south to Georgia, and as far west as Iowa (USDA-NRCS, 2009). As an ornamental, it has been deliberately introduced to many countries in Europe and Asia, such as Germany (Boyle et al., 2008), Switzerland (Lenzin et al., 2004), Austria (Essl, 2008), the Czech Republic (Mollerova, 2005), Korea (Kim and Chung, 1995) and China (Pan and You, 1994).

History of Introduction and Spread
Top of pageR. typhina has been cultivated in Europe for centuries as an ornamental, prized for its vivid autumn foliage and distinctive fruit. In the Czech Republic, it has been listed as a main invasive woody species (Mollerova, 2005). In 1959, it was introduced to China from Hungary (Pan and You, 1994). Used for rehabilitation of degraded lands and as an ornamental, it has been spreading all over the Yellow River basin with intentional introduction. It is now considered an invasive species in some provinces in China (Wang et al., 2008).

Risk of Introduction
Top of pageAt a local level in its native range, the seeds of R. typhina may disperse via birds (Foster and Gross, 1999; USDA-NRCS, 2009). The long distance spreading is mainly dependent on the deliberate introduction for ornamental and rehabilitation purposes. For this reason, the introduction of R. typhina could be easily controlled.
Habitat
Top of pageR. typhina generally prefers fertile, upland sites, but tolerates a wide variety of conditions. It is tolerant of slightly acid soil conditions and textures ranging from coarse to fine. Typical growing sites include open fields and roadsides, fence rows, railroad rights-of-way, and burned areas. It also thrives in polluted city air, and grows in such inhospitable sites as cracks in the pavement. R. typhina is not highly shade-tolerant and is considered to be an early successional species (USDA-NRCS, 2009).

Biology and Ecology
Top of pageGenetics
Chromosome number (2n) = 30 (Missouri Botanical Garden, 2010). See Coombes (1994) for further information on the genetics of this species. This paper describes the botanical characteristics, nomenclature and origins of R. typhina.
Reproductive Biology
R. typhina can reproduce sexually by producing seeds or asexually by rhizomatous growth. Its seed germination rate is less than 20% due to a water-impermeable endocarp. Treatment with gibberellic acid (GA) (0-1000 mg/l) or cold stratification (0-30 days at 4°C) can improve germination (Norton, 1985). Under natural conditions, the germination of its seeds can be enhanced by passage through the digestive system of rabbits, ring-necked pheasants and quail, or encouraged by the presence of fire (Izhaki et al., 1992; USDA-NRCS, 2009). In China, reproduction is mainly via rhizomes (horizontal underground stems). With the spreading of rhizomes, an area can become populated by many related plants, with overlapping crowns that give the appearance of a dense colony, with an extensive rounded or flat top. As colonies enlarge, older plants tend to be located in the centre and younger plants emerge around the ever-expanding perimeter.
Physiology
R. typhina has a low nitrogen and soluble sugar content and high tannin content (Li et al., 2007). This high antifeedant activity could distinctly inhibit the survival and fecundity of many insects, especially spider mites [Tetranychidae].
R. typhina has a distinctive biomass allocation and growth strategy. The stem of the clonal ramet and the front part of the lateral root belong to the dominant and subdominant growth and the storage centre of photosynthetic products (Zhang et al., 2005, 2008). The front part of the lateral root diameter is twice as large as the back. This asymmetry of diameter of the clonal ramet root becomes more significant with increasing age and has little correlation to topography (Zhang et al., 2004). Such pattern of biomass enables R. typhina to reproduce in a short time. As for newly emerged clonal ramets, the growth rate of the lateral branch and leaf is much faster than the height, which facilitates clonal ramets of R. typhina to form a dominant synusium (Zhang et al., 2004). The clonal integration of R. typhina allow its ramets to be better adapted to weak light beneath its overstorey than other species such as Vitex negundo var. heterophylla, which further enhances its competition ability in the spreading area (Zhang et al., 2007).
Environmental Requirements
R. typhina prefers a warm temperate climate, characterized by summer precipitation or a fully humid climate. In North America, its current range extends north to Quebec and south to Georgia, where mean annual temperature ranges from 4 to 18°C and the maximum temperature in the hottest month is from 22 to 34ºC. In China, its distribution area covers various climate types from a temperate continental arid to semi-arid climate, to a subtropical ocean climate, with an annual rainfall range from 300 to 1200 mm.
R. typhina has a low fertility requirement, that enables it to endure diverse soil types from coarse to fine. It prefers the medium textured soils, but is not adapted to fine textured soils. The pH value range it can endure varies from 4.5 to 7.2 (USDA-NRCS, 2009).

Notes on Natural Enemies
Top of pageR. typhina has a wide resistance to insects and diseases. R. typhina has a high antifeedant activity against spider mites [Tetranychidae] and may distinctly inhibit their survival and fecundity (Li et al., 2007). Lygocoris communis have been found on R. typhina (Boivin and Stewart, 1982). The fungus, Botryosphaeria ribis may cause damage to R. typhina (Juhasova et al., 2005).
Means of Movement and Dispersal
Top of pageNatural dispersal of R. typhina is usually aided by birds or small animals such as ring-necked pheasants, rabbits, and quail, which may eat its seeds in winter. Passage through the digestive system of such organisms can encourage the germination of R. typhina seeds. The main dispersal manner, especially long distance, is the deliberate introduction as an ornamental or when used for soil protection and regeneration. In China, R. typhina has been dispersed all over the Yellow River basin since its initial introduction in 1959 (Pan and You, 1994). For example, it has been distributed to almost every scenic reserve and most nature reserves in Beijing (Wang et al., 2008).

Environmental Impact
Top of pageR. typhina can tolerate various habitats ranging from fine to coarse soil. Once established, stands will spread from the root sprouts. The lateral root system is extensive and spreads outwards 1 metre or more a year. This sprouting is encouraged by cutting or fire injury (Izhaki et al., 1992). For this reason, R. typhina can prevent water and soil erosion effectively on barren or rocky areas. In the degraded, hilly Taihang Mountains, China, the physical and chemical soil properties improved with the development of an R. typhina community. The soil fertility was increased, and the degraded ecological environment was significantly improved with the increase of R. typhina plantation age, which indicated its positive role in soil protection and regeneration (Fan et al., 2008). Due to the high water content and low calorific value of its leaf and stem, especially the high decomposition rate of its litters, R. typhina is also recommended as a good choice to build fire-resistant tree belts (Bo et al., 2007).

Uses
Top of pageEconomic Value
R. typhina can be used as a good honey plant (Liu, 2002). The small fruit of R. typhina are filled with a sour juice, rich in malic acid and tannin, which can be used to brew staghorn sumac wine, when the fruit is just turning red (Krause, 1982). Its high tannin content makes it an important source of tannin extract (Moerman, 1998). Its root, inner bark and central pith of the stem can also be used to produce dye (Moerman, 1998).
Medicinal Value
R. typhina may have medicinal value. For example, it is said that its bark can be used in the treatment of diarrhoea, fevers, piles, general debility, uterine prolapse etc. (Weiner, 1980; Foster and Duke, 1990). Other plant parts also have some medicinal value. It is often employed medicinally by several native North American Indian tribes who value it especially for its astringent qualities (Moerman, 1998). However, it is rarely used in modern herbal medicine.

Similarities to Other Species/Conditions
Top of pageRhus copallina (dwarf sumac) is similar in appearance to R. typhina, except its stems have raised dots and its leaflets have smooth edges. Rhus glabra (smooth sumac) can be distinguished from staghorn sumac by the lack of hairs on its stems and petioles. Naturally occurring crosses between staghorn and smooth sumac result in hybrid offspring with characteristics intermediate between those of both parents. Characteristics of Toxicodendron vernix (poison sumac), which causes dermatitis in sensitive individuals, distinguishing it from R. typhina are white hairless fruit, hairless stems, and smooth-edged leaves. Leaves of Ailanthus altissima (tree-of-heaven) are also compound, but their leaflets have one to two teeth located near the base compared to R. typhina leaflets that have numerous teeth all around the edge.
Prevention and Control
Top of pageDue to the variable regulations around (de)registration of pesticides, your national list of registered pesticides or relevant authority should be consulted to determine which products are legally allowed for use in your country when considering chemical control. Pesticides should always be used in a lawful manner, consistent with the product's label.
Mechanical Control
Small populations can be kept under control by conducting prescribed burns every 3 to 4 years. Spring burns are conducted to stimulate herbaceous vegetation. Double-cutting at ground level (once in July and once in August) is another control strategy. Cutting may need to be repeated for several consecutive years to effectively control dense populations. Sumac will re-sprout after each cutting, but dense vegetation may prevent sumac from receiving enough sunlight, causing the leaves to turn yellow and eventually die.
Chemical Control
During July and August a 20% concentration of glyphosate can be applied to freshly cut stumps. Oil-based triclopyr can be applied as directed on the label to the entire circumference of each stem of the clone; no cutting is carried out. Foliar application of water-based triclopyr as directed on the label or 1-2% solution of glyphosate can be applied in areas with little or no native vegetation. Another control measure is 41% amiton at 0.3 ml/m2 during July and August (Wu et al., 2007).
