Sugar Bush, Rhus ovata, or sugar sumac, is an evergreen shrub native to the southwestern United States. It reaches heights of 3 to 10 feet and bears small, red berries, providing a food source for local wildlife. The name “sugarbush” stems from its sweet, edible berries, historically used to make a refreshing drink. Known for its drought tolerance, this plant thrives in arid landscapes, making it ideal for xeriscaping.
