Our HOA bans using Sumacs, though there are some homeowners currently using sumacs in their landscaping.
Because of the size, leaf shape, contorted branching, and fall color, I want desperately to plant it.
The main reason seems to be the invasiveness. It's hard to understand the complete banning of this shrub, when aspens are acceptable if planted in a controlled space (which I have offered to do with the sumac). We've had aspens and we've had sumacs in a previous yard, and I can't say there was any difference in invasiveness.
I've seen positive information on the extension sites, and local nurseries sell it but somehow this shrub has gotten a bad rap in our neighborhood.
If you have information that you can share, that I could provide to my HOA that might persuade them to alter the bylaws, it would be much appreciated.
