Smooth Sumac
Siberian Larch Oasis

Smooth Sumac is an excellent shrub for both its ornamental appeal and tolerance of difficult planting sites. You'll love the attractive pyramidal spikes of hairy, red berries that emerge on female plants and the fern-like foliage that covers both male and female varieties.

Ensure you give Smooth Sumac enough space to spread out due to its high suckering nature. While not ideal for small, urban yards, this shrub will make a stunning border along a woodland edge or roadside.

Note:These plants typically reach maturity and make their sex easily known (females producing fruit) in their 3rd or 4th year of growth. Our seedlings are too young to identify their sex.

The Siberian Larch 'Oasis' is perfect for shade in the summer and sunlight in the winter as it drops its needles in the fall. A dense deciduous conifer tree with an attractive oval shape and a strong central leader, this larch is perfect in a shelterbelt for protection in the summer and sunlight in the winter. The delicate and fine needle texture that makes it an attractive feature in landscaping projects and is show-stopping in the fall with foliage that turns gold.
