Rhus in autumn


The rhus is a highly toxic and allergy-causing tree.  When I first moved into this property I was careful with the rhus but so far I have not been affected even after pruning the soft branches and sawing the thicker harder wood.  It is a beautiful specimen in autumn and I hope the leaves will remain for another week or so.  I cut off the seeds and binned them but I have been finding so many baby rhus in the garden bed I have to make sure they are pulled out.
