Tree shipped will be 12+ inches tall and may be dormant with no leaves and/or come bare root if shipped in the colder season. It can be planted anytime as long as the ground is not frozen. The staghorn sumac, scientifically known as Rhus typhina, is a striking deciduous shrub or small tree known for its unique appearance and various benefits in landscaping and natural environments. One of its most distinctive features is its compound leaves, which resemble the antlers of a stag hence the name "staghorn." These leaves turn a vibrant red or orange in the fall, providing a stunning display of autumn color that adds visual interest to landscapes. In addition to its ornamental value, the staghorn sumac produces dense clusters of red, fuzzy fruit known as drupes. These fruit clusters persist through the winter months, providing food for birds and other wildlife during the colder seasons. The fruit also adds visual interest to the shrub, especially against the backdrop of its colorful foliage, making it a popular choice for winter landscapes. Another benefit of the staghorn sumac is its adaptability to various growing conditions. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and can tolerate a wide range of soil types, including poor, dry, or rocky soils. This resilience makes it suitable for planting in challenging locations where other plants may struggle to thrive. Additionally, the staghorn sumac is drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance option for water-wise landscaping. Moreover, the staghorn sumac is valued for its wildlife-attracting qualities. Its dense, bushy growth habit provides cover and nesting sites for birds, while its fruit attracts a variety of bird species, including songbirds and gamebirds. The shrub's flowers also attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, contributing to the biodiversity of garden ecosystems. Furthermore, the staghorn sumac is easy to propagate and can spread readily through suckering, forming naturalized colonies in suitable habitats. While this spreading habit may be considered invasive in some contexts, it can also be managed through regular pruning and maintenance to control its growth and spread. Overall, the staghorn sumac combines aesthetic appeal, ecological value, and adaptability, making it a versatile and beneficial addition to landscapes and natural areas. Whether used for its ornamental foliage, wildlife-attracting qualities, or resilience in challenging conditions, this native shrub adds beauty and biodiversity to outdoor spaces throughout the year. Note: the berries on this bush are reported to be edible. Of course do you own research before you decide to consume any natural product!
