A beautiful shrub or occasionally a small tree with the general habit of a rhododendron and large, thick, shinning green leaves, glaucous beneath, crowding the tips of the stems. The drooping flower clusters consist of numerous silky-hairy, multi-coloured bracts through which emerge the bright, rose-madder petals and black anthers.

Well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. This tree/shrub will spread by root suckering.

Sumac are perhaps the best Autumn colouring plants period. Hardy large shrubs or small trees , these deciduous plants are show stoppers.

Smooth Sumac has wonderful alternate leaves 30-59 cm long that start out green. In Autumn the oranges and reds are truly stunning. I find this plant very easy too grow and tolerant of full sun. Native of the Americas from Canada south to Mexico.

(Cutleaf Staghorn Sumac)Deciduous shrub, which wil grow up to 10 - 25 ft high, and spreads 15 - 25ft. Stunning Autumn folage, with showy flowers in July.
