RE: Planting Sumac from seed - help?
Yes they do eat the stalks, primarily the tips which happen to be an excellent source of food for them, probably not very tasty as they wait until there isn't much else. But they are good deer food. the trick is to thin the more mature ones out so smaller ones will start, these seem to be the ones they work on the most. And once you get them started they will propogate through their root systems, so brush hogging the bigger stands shouldn't kill them out.
