Cut-leaved Staghorn Sumac

Tagged as: Large Deciduous Shrubs

Botanical Name: Rhus typhina 'Laciniata'
Common Name: Cut-leaved Staghorn Sumac

Updated 12/2012

Height: 15-20' Spread: 15-20' Habit/Form: Large, upright suckering, colonizing shrub
Growth Rate: Fast Zone: 4-8

Cultural Requirements: Best in full sun in most soils except those that are permanently wet. Very tolerant of dry conditions once established.

Ornamental Characteristics: Late to leaf out in the spring. Similar to staghorn sumac but the leaves are deeply divided creating a fine-textured, ferny appearance.  Dense, fuzzy clusters of dark red fruits appear in early fall; color often holds until spring.

Uses in the Landscape: Best used in mass plantings, for naturalizing, or on steep slopes. Because of its suckering habit, avoid using in confined spaces.
