If it is Rhus typhina (sumach) then cutting it back hard is the worst thing you can do, for it increases greatly the amount of suckers you get.

Is it a sumach and not schumart? If its sumach (stag horn) then it is meant to be furry (mine is) and they do grow suckers. My sumach was from a neighbours tree. The branches become like a canopy too..It is a lovely tree...Hope it is sumach
