Rhus typhina 'Dissecta', commonly referred to as the cut-leaved staghorn sumac, is a visually captivating deciduous shrub or small tree that draws attention for its intricately divided leaves and vibrant fall foliage. The plant's unique architectural form and exotic characteristics make it a remarkable addition to various landscapes, enhancing both aesthetic appeal and biodiversity. Its deeply lobed, fern-like green leaves transform into a stunning display of orange, red, and scarlet hues as autumn approaches, creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of a changing season.
In late summer, this sumac produces upright, cone-shaped clusters of dark red, velvety fruits that not only add to its ornamental value but also persist into the winter months, providing visual interest even when the plant is bare. The branches are adorned with soft, hairy growth that resembles antlers, which is the origin of its common name "staghorn." This distinctive feature contributes to the plant's sculptural quality, particularly during the winter when its open, spreading crown is fully exposed, allowing for a unique silhouette against the winter sky.
Rhus typhina 'Dissecta' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, demonstrating drought tolerance once established, making it a resilient choice for various garden settings. Its suckering nature enables it to form thickets if left unmanaged, which can be advantageous for creating naturalized plantings. This hardy species is well-suited for the UK climate, reaching a height of approximately 300 cm (10 ft) and a spread of about 400 cm (13 ft). It serves as an excellent specimen plant in lawns, gravel gardens, or mixed borders, where its striking features can be fully appreciated.

Thompson & Morgan strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3
