Rhus glabra
Found in a dry soil forest area north of Pine Lake, not a marshy area. The plant has red berries, not white berries. I would like input on this since my reference materials say poison ivy has white berries, not red. That is why I originally identified this in the Genus: Rhus. Any help here would be appreciated, as the leaf count was exactly 13 and I did not see branches with more than 13 which would make it easier to put in the other species of Rhus.
Deciduous hardwwod forest praire pothole mixed ecosystem
slight razorxedge not obvious in photo
i believe i will continue with the ID i have since that species is common in our area and poison sumac is very rare in northern Minnesota
Staghorn Sumac has much longer, thinner, and toothed leaflets. Poison Sumac leaves are rounder, and is entire (no "teeth").
A good comparison of the two can be found here on this blog:
