What is the outside plant that is red in color and is furry and thick and comes to a point at the end

Question

I have always thought that this was poison oak or poison ivy it is a large plant and very rich in color

Answer 1

Sounds like sumac...the red variety is not poisonous to touch, the white sumac is poisonous...look up images online..

edit: it is a tree, the red velvety "blossoms" are what you seem to be describing

Answer 2

The only one that I can think of that kinda fits your description is a purpleish red Smoke tree or bush. From a distance, it looks "furry". See some photos here: http://www.taunton.com/finegardening/pla...
