Poison Sumac (Toxicodendron vernix)Observer
ny_wetlanderDescription
This site is on my top five never go back to sites. The most poison sumac I have ever seen - we encountered it every 5 m or so hidden amongst cattail and Phragmites. This wetland was probably a really nice fen before it was invaded with Phragmites, some nice pockets in the northern half.
