| Is the African Sumac alright to have around pets? We would like to plant one in the back yard but have dogs, is this tree alright around pets? |
| African sumac, which is actually the same genus as poison oak, is considered poisonous; it may cause milder but similar symptoms to those allergic to it. I'd avoid planting it where puppies might be tempted to nibble on the foliage or berries it produces. |
