  What eats Sumac berries?  Is there a bird that used to eat Sumac berries

critter must, otherwise how does it get transplanted from one place to

I haven't followed this discussion so may duplicate what has been written.                

The white sumac is toxic and the red sumac which is found in this area isn't poisonous. A tea can be made from the berries and is high in vitiman C. I've eated the berries but as they are very fuzzy about a few berries are enough.
