Sumac!


If you are looking for something a little unusual for the landscape, try a sumac. These plants thrive on neglect on the side of the interstate!  Pictured below is Rhus typhina 'Tigereye' or 'Bailtiger'.  Some people might consider "yellow" plants sickly, but this one stands out great!  It has multiple interest, including turning a bright red in the fall before the leaves fall off!  The first time I spotted this, it was planted at Tennessee Tech University.  It will eventually stand around 6' tall and wide.  If you like something just a little unusual for the landscape, try a sumac!
