Three Lobed Sumac (Trial)

Rhus trilobata

  • Rounded shrub to 1m high
  • Smooth grey bark with a distinctive aroma when bruised
  • Leaves are an intense green with three lobes that turn an orange fall colour on the prairies
  • Clusters of small yellow flowers tight to the branches bloom in early spring before the leaves
  • Round red fruit is covered with a waxy coating

Landscape Use:

  • Of limited use in the Calgary region due to cool nights; performs better on the prairies with the warmer summer nights
  • Neat compact plant for full sun
  • In the right spot, you can look forward to a great fall show

Special Conditions:

  • We’ve grown it at Bow Point Nursery but it has not performed very well
  • Research continues to find seed sources better adapted to the Calgary area
  • Under trial at this point
  • Not in normal production for sale; call to enquire
