Staghorn Sumac Pink Lemonade Plant, 1-2 Years Old

Essential Product Info

Staghorn Sumac Plants: Perfect for Plant Hardiness Zones 5-8

Staghorn sumac plants, 1-2 years old, are hardy in Plant Hardiness Zones 5-8. Grow your own sumac fruit berries annually to make homemade pink lemonade.

Your plant will be sent bare-root, with roots wrapped in wet wood shavings and plastic. The plant will be pruned to fit in a 22-inch box. Before planting during the summer, remove all leaves. New leaves will sprout within 2-3 weeks. Provide shade to ease rooting, and don't fertilize after planting.

Upon receipt, promptly plant the bare-root sumac in well-draining soil with full to partial sunlight. Maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during the establishment period. Prune in late winter or early spring for bushier growth, and mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Protect young plants from extreme conditions, especially in severe winters. If nutrient deficiencies appear, consider using a balanced fertilizer in subsequent springs. Monitor for pests and diseases, but Staghorn Sumac is generally resilient.

Enjoy the process of growing and crafting your own pink lemonade from the tart sumac berries.
