GROWER NOTES:
Rhus typhina is commonly referred to as Staghorn Sumac or Velvet Sumac. It is native to eastern North America and is a colony-forming, deciduous shrub with large, bright green, compound leaves that turn a very attractive orange and red in fall. Female plants feature yellow-green flowers followed by fuzzy, flaming red berries in erect, pyramidal clusters which persist through winter. Also in winter, the rough, rust-colored, hairy twigs resemble deer antlers with a velvet look, hence its common name, Staghorn Sumac.
Staghorn Sumac is adaptable to various soil conditions and is ideal for naturalizing large areas as it suckers freely. It enjoys full sun in average, well-drained soils. It can be drought tolerant once established.
