Sumac - Rocky Mountain
Sumac - Rocky Mountain
The Rocky Mountain Sumac, Rhus glabra cismontana 'Rocky Mountain', is a suckering, thicket-forming plant with small upright tree-like branches. On female plants, yellow-green flowers are followed by bright-red, hairy berries in erect, pyramidal clusters which persist throughout winter. It can be used as a “specimen thicket†in industrial landscapes and is quite valuable for adding a tropical, lush look to a xeric garden. In a planned landscape, the species is most effective when drifts or colonies, typical of natural settings, are allowed to establish. The colonies can be rejuvenated every few years by cutting them to the ground in mid-winter. 'Rocky Mountain' Sumac will grow in dry waste areas, such as impossible slopes where even junipers struggle. It is fast growing, generally pest and disease-free, and drought-tolerant.
