Sumac?

I always forget the name of this plant. I think it's Sumac. It's not a cultivated plant, but a wild one that grows near the beaches and bushes. It must like sandy soil since it grows in all the coastal towns in which I've lived. The contrast of the greens and purple always catch my eye as well as the cone shaped buds. When winter comes the twisted branches always stand out against the background. I took this picture as I was leaving my swimming hole on Sunday.
