Sumacs are among the most adaptable shrubs but may be
regarded as weeds. They grow rapidly, tolerate most
exposures and poor soil but are short-lived. Sumac grows 30
feet tall and spreads up to 25 feet. The main ornamental
feature is bright red fall color. Keep suckers controlled
to keep the plant within its allotted space. The red fruits
are produced in terminal panicles.
Two cultivars are listed: 'dissecta'--cut leaflets;
'laciniata'--cut-leaved.
