Rhus typhina 'Laciniata' 3 Litre

Rhus typhina ‘Laciniata’, commonly known as the Cutleaf Staghorn Sumac, is a dramatic and striking deciduous shrub prized for its deeply divided, feathery foliage. Its unique, lace-like leaves provide an architectural quality to any garden, making it a fantastic focal point for borders or larger landscapes. In summer, the tree produces clusters of small, greenish-yellow flowers, which are followed by showy, velvety red seed clusters in late summer to autumn. These seed heads add colour and texture to the garden long after the flowers have faded, attracting birds and supporting local wildlife.

‘Laciniata’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating a wide range of conditions including poor soils. Its distinctive foliage turns brilliant shades of orange, red, and burgundy in autumn, providing a spectacular seasonal display. The tree is relatively low-maintenance, and its upright, spreading habit makes it ideal as a specimen tree or for adding structure to mixed borders. While it can form suckers at its base, this can be managed with occasional pruning, ensuring it maintains a tidy and attractive appearance.
