Dwarf Sumac - Rhus Copallinum

Dwarf Sumac trees are small deciduous shrubs belonging to the Anacardiaceae family. They are native to the eastern United States and can be found from Florida to New England. They grow in various habitats, including woodlands, rocky slopes, and open fields.

Tree Growth

The trees typically grow up to 4 to 6 feet tall, ideal for small gardens or border plantings. They have a spreading growth habit, rounded shape, and delicate texture. The trees' leaves are dark green and glossy, turning bright red or orange in the Fall (End of October), adding a beautiful display of color to any landscape.

Dwarf Sumac Attractive Flowers

The trees are also known for their attractive flowers and fruit. In late spring and early summer, the flowers are small and greenish-yellow. These flowers give way to small, bright red fruit clusters that ripen in late summer and persist throughout Fall (End of October). These berries are a favorite food source for birds, making the tree an excellent choice for attracting wildlife to your garden.

Low-Maintenance

One of the trees' unique features is their ability to thrive in various soil types, including poor, dry, or sandy soils. Once established, they are relatively low maintenance. The trees can be pruned in early spring to maintain their shape.

Benefits

These trees are an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a small, colorful, low-maintenance landscape shrub. With their stunning Fall (End of October) foliage, attractive flowers, and berries that attract wildlife, they will surely be a standout addition to any garden.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Plant bare-root shrubs during the more excellent spring or fall months, from November through April. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root system and slightly more profound than its height. Position the shrub so that the top of the roots is level with the ground, and put back the soil dug over the roots. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, ensuring the mulch does not touch the shrub's stem. Water regularly, especially during the first year, to establish strong roots. Prune shrubs as needed to promote healthy growth. In the spring, fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer suited to the specific needs of the shrub.
