Rhus typhina Stag's-horn Sumach I
This ornamental plant doesn't self seed but can escape and multiply by suckering. The various varieties have different coloured flowers, some deep red and the leaves go bright red in the autumn.
R. typhina has escaped all over England and little bit in Wales but in Scotland and Ireland there is hardly any to be found in the wild.
