Common Name: Cut-leaved Sumac



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.
