Also known as Littleleaf Sumac, Desert Sumac, Correosa, Agritos
Little-leaf sumac is a deciduous shrub that grows up to 15 feet tall. The leaves are pinnate, distinctively leathery, shiny, and have tiny leaflets. Before the leaves appear, white flower clusters appear axillary and terminally. The fruit is orange-red. The number of flowers and fruits is usually low. Rose and purple colors dominate the fall foliage.
Native sumacs are essential wildlife plants in addition to being attractive specimens, hedges, or background plants. In addition to their fast growth rate, they are generally free of pests and diseases and drought-tolerant. The colonies are usually single-sexed, formed by suckering from a single parent. Flowers and berries are only produced by female plants.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
