Bare root. Established suckers from female plants. Sumac is dioecious.
Smooth sumac (Rhus glabra) is a common colony-forming native shrub in my area.
In my opinion this is the most ideal sumac species for making sumac ‘lemonade’.
Also worth noting, sumac species are a choice shrub for vegetable tanning leather. The leaves can be gathered in large quantities and used to tan leather due to the high amounts of tannins present.
Plants sold as suckers will often be cut back to about 12 to 16 inches in height to accommodate transplanting and stimulate new growth.
We offer suckers from plants identified as females. It requires pollination from male plants for fruit production.
