Thank you foe the link dandoucette.It's close to where I live, so I'll probably keep my eye on this one and see what it does.

It looks like the staghorn sumac to me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhus_typhina

Thank you for the warning LydiaMarie. I don't recall touching it.

Hope you didn't touch! I think this is Poison Sumac!

You're welcome, hope it turns out to be helpful ... if you can't decide, but this plant is one you can re-visit, you could just check later to see what happens next. Great thing about plants, they stay put!

Not sure, but maybe elderberry or sumac ...
