Zone: 3LACELEAF STAGHORN SUMAC
Rhus typhina 'Laciniata' is commonly referred to as Laceleaf Staghorn Sumac. It is bold and beautiful, native, deciduous shrub that has a wide spreading growth habit with lateral suckers that quickly establish themselves. It is especially noteworthy for its highly serrated, delicate, green leaves that create a soft, airy, almost tropical, appearance in summer. Come fall, the leaves light up in bold colors of yellow, orange and red. Its "Staghorn" common name refers to its velvety, curved branches that resemble the velvet antlers of a male deer. Towards the end of summer, the flower cones evolve into fuzzy, tightly packed, red berries that stand erect in pyramidal form. Birds cannot get enough of these berries and enjoy them throughout the winter!
Laciniata Laceleaf Staghorn Sumac thrives in full sun in average, well-drained soils. It will not tolerate standing water. It can thrive in city environments and be drought tolerate once established.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil, noting that these species are exceptionally adaptable and frequently thrive in poor or rocky sites where other plants struggle. Select a location in full sun to partial shade, which encourages the most vibrant autumn foliage color and consistent growth. While they are highly drought-tolerant once established, provide supplemental water during the first growing season to ensure the root system is well-anchored. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead wood or to manage the plant's natural spread, as many varieties in this genus exhibit a vigorous, suckering habit that may need occasional containment depending on your landscape design. These shrubs are incredibly resilient and tolerate hard pruning if rejuvenation is required to keep them looking their best. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, taking care to keep the mulch away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
