Rhus typhina - Staghorn Sumac - Large Specimen
The leaves of this handsome shrub emerge each spring in a bright, fresh green, making a rich backdrop as a small tree to a garden border, lasting well throughout the summer. It's in the autumn, however, this plant becomes eye-catching, as it's then that the leaves turn dazzling shades of red and orange.
Needless to say, it's primarily grown for this stunning foliage, but it also produces upright spikes of female greenish yellow flowers in summer, and then cone-like clusters of red fruits develop. It makes a magnificent, stand-alone specimen that will develop an architectural profile as it matures, while its colourful foliage also makes it a valuable accent plant.
Supplied in approx. 7-10 litre containers.
