Tiger Eyes Sumac

Rhus typhina "Tigereye Bailtiger". This one has the most beautiful fall color and is so soft and delicate. It has a velvety stem and new foliage is chartreuse then changes to yellow, then scarlet and finally orange neon. It gets 6' tall and about the same wide. It does sucker but I figure I will have new ones to transplant to other areas of the garden. For the best color put in full sun in moist well drained soil. Grows in zones 4-8. When it's color changes I will post this one again.
