About this item:
The Flameleaf Sumac is native to North America and is renowned for its vibrant large leaves that transition to a flame red hue in the fall. During summer, it produces large clusters of yellow flowers that evolve into striking, ornamental dark red berries, each measuring up to 8” long. This plant is dioecious, requiring both male and female plants for pollination. Sumac trees are beneficial for wildlife, offering shelter and food sources for birds who enjoy the berries.

This variety of Dwarf Sumac is highly favored for its aesthetic appeal and ease of care. It is well-suited for container gardening and shows high tolerance to pollution, making it an ideal choice for urban environments such as street trees or in medians and along highways. Additionally, it adapts to various challenging conditions including drought, poor drainage, and soil that is sandy, heavy clay, rocky, or shallow, which also makes it effective for erosion control. Further, it is resistant to deer and rabbits.
