Staghorn Sumac is an excellent landscaping tree that quickly develops a high, wide canopy that is great for planting small shrubs and perennials under.

The Staghorn Sumac is very drought tolerant once established and can be grown in just about any soil from Northern areas to the hot, humid South.

Great for creating a naturalized landscape look. The foliage on Staghorn Sumac is pretty and arranged like a feather. Summer green gives way to a fiery show of rich gold to orange and ember red.

You can also use Staghorn Sumac as a single specimen in a tight space because they will never grow taller than 25 ft. high.

Don’t confuse this attractive tree with poisonous Sumac. The Staghorn is so safe that you can actually make a refreshing natural type of lemonade and home made wines with the fall berries.

Your Staghorn Sumac is a quick, low maintenance way to beautify your landscape. Your trees will arrive with a well-developed root system – ready to perform for you. No spraying or pruning necessary. Just plant it and watch your Sumac grow!

Your Staghorn Sumac can be planted any time of year!

It's Easy to Plant your Staghorn Sumac
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Staghorn Sumac. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Staghorn Sumac gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Staghorn Sumac again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.
