There's a (relatively) new cut-leaf sumac out that is very tropical looking, 'Tiger Eyes' . It comes out in the spring with very bright golden foliage which holds color in full-sun, changing to chartreuse in less sun. In the fall, it "bursts into flame" - the colors are so spectacular they rival a good sugar maple (see photo). Spreads by suckers, but not invasive in my experience.
