Cut-Leaf Staghorn Sumac, Rhus hirta 'Laciniata', Rhus typhina f. laciniata, Rhus typhina 'Laciniata'
Award-winning Rhus Tiphina ‘Dissecta’ is an open, spreading, deciduous shrub or small tree with nice ornamental features. Its foliage of large, deeply dissected, fern-like, bright green leaves, 2 ft. long (60 cm), turns brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow in fall. Its strong architectural form and elegant silhouette are revealed in winter after the leaves are gone. Cone-shaped panicles of green-yellow flowers bloom in midsummer, followed on female plants by conspicuous crimson fruit in fall. Attractive to wildlife, they gradually turn dark red as they persist through much of the winter. Rhus Tiphina ‘Dissecta’ is a suckering shrub that will form thickets via self-seeding and root suckering and has the potential to become a nuisance.
Sumacs belong to the Anacardiaceae family, also known as the cashew family. This family includes economically important, ornamental, and sometimes toxic plants:
