Rhus typhina 'Dissecta'

stag's horn sumach

Product Image
An upright, deciduous shrub or small tree, that is primarily grown for its finely-cut dark green leaves, which turn spectacular shades of orange-red in the autumn before they are shed. Cone-shaped clusters of yellow-green flowers appear in summer, and on female plants, these are followed by hairy, deep red berries. Stag's horn sumach is an excellent specimen for a small sunny garden, but as it spreads by suckering, avoid planting it too close to a lawn. Alternatively, you can limit its spread by surrounding the roots with a non-perishable barrier.

Please note that we cannot guarantee if a particular plant will be male or female.

How to care for Rhus typhina Dissecta:

Wearing stout gardening gloves, remove any suckering shoots that arise around the base of the plant.
