Flameleaf Sumac

Rhus lanceolata


Flameleaf Sumac is one of the most dependable and dramatic fall color performers in the Texas landscape, lighting up hillsides and roadsides with a vivid display of scarlet, orange, and flame-red foliage that rivals anything the season has to offer. This fast-growing, small native tree or large shrub reaches 10–15 feet tall and spreads by root suckers to form attractive colonies. Its upright, pinnately compound leaves and showy red berry clusters also attract numerous bird species through the fall and winter, adding wildlife value to its already impressive ornamental credentials.
