    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Deciduous shrub to small tree that will have an upright, rounded habit at maturity. Lacy foliage is the real stunner on this one! New leaves emerge chartreuse, turning to yellow, then to brilliant orange in the fall. Adding to its unique appearance are reddish stems and then greenish yellow flowers in the summer. Red bunches of fruits follow the flowers and persist into the winter until the birds eat them. This is a dwarf form of the regular sumac and will not be as invasive, but may send up some shoots away from the main plant. Does very well in clay soil and will be drought tolerant once established. Great for an impact plant in a small garden area! Growth Rate medium

    Very showy compound leaves are cutleaf type and emerge chartreuse before turning a bright yellow. Dramatic plant that deserves a prominent location in the garden. Stems are covered in fuzzy felt like a deer's antlers. Grows into a small clump maturing around 5-6' tall.

    This is fairly new and quite striking in the spring when the yellow leaves emerge on the 'furry' copper colored stems.

    By: Hoot Owl Hollow Nursery

    Opening vivid chartreuse, the fine lacy foliage of this more restrained sumac (to only 6-8' rather than 30) turns to golden yellow over the summer ; to bright orange-red... a dramatic touch in any season! Sun/Med-Dry/GdDrain PPatentAF

    Chartreuse new foliage turns yellow, contrasts with rosy-pink stems. Stunning-orange-red fall. Zones 4-8.

    By: Lael's Moon Garden

    A fairly new plant to us and looks beautiful with the large (18 inch) pinnate golden leaves. In fall the leaves turn to a riot of yellow, red and orange.
