Description
These trees have a lengthy lifespan of 200 years or more and tolerates extreme temperature ranges. The large panicles of showy red-orange flowers provide food for bees, and the leaves turn brilliant red in the fall. The cylindrical fruits are clusters of round drupes that produce black-brown shiny seeds eaten by songbirds and small mammals. Smooth Sumac is a fire retardant.
If you are looking for a raw material that is versatile and gorgeous, look no further than the Smooth Sumac, Rhus glabra. This shrub grows anywhere from 3 to 6 feet tall in the Rocky Mountains but 10 to 20 feet tall elsewhere. The leaves on this woody shrub are alternate and oblong. The leaf margins usually have coarse teeth, but not always. They have a long taproot and will not spread . Because it does not spread, it is excellent for landscapes that need a little privacy, especially if invasive species are near them. This plant also can be used as a tall privacy hedge when surrounded by trees.
This tree is the only one of our native sumacs with smooth bark on its young stems. This tree is a woody shrub that grows in dry open places with rocky or sandy soil and is drought-resistant once established. It generally prefers full sun but will grow with some shade, particularly when young.
It is considered easy to grow. In spring, it produces clusters of fragrant white flowers, and later in the summer, it produces clusters of fuzzy-winged fruits and seeds.
These are the most important native shrub in the grasslands of Colorado. This shrub can tolerate various soils, pH, and moisture conditions. It does not tolerate shade, so it crowds out other species in areas with dense shading from trees. To find more information on this plant, visit this website: www.treenurseryco.com/smooth-sumac.
