Tiger Eyes Sumac - dead?
Comments (15)If you scratch lightly at the bark, and find that the cambium layer (the area just under the bark, between it and the wood) is still green, then the branch is alive to that point, and should grow leaves at some point. If it is brown, down to the wood, then that branch is dead to that point - check lower down. If necessary, you can also check the trunk, but it is a bit harder to do so gently. I would also check the soil - stick a finger in up to the second knuckle; if it is dry, water deeply and slowly, if it is moist, then wait and re-check. If you haven't, mulch around the tree - as widely as possible, no deeper than 4", and no mulch in the inch or 2 next to the trunk. Subsequent moisture checks should be to the soil and not to the mulch....See MoreCan this recover?: Siberian weeping peashrub vs Tiger Eyes Sumac
Comments (2)I agree with Ken. This is a prime location and is the first thing/area any visitor will see. I don't think I would put the Sumac there either. Not because I don't like them, I do, I have two very nice specimens in my yard. I wouldn't choose them for that location because I don't think they are at all attractive in the winter. They definitely wouldn't be the first thing I would want visitors to see in the winter. I think I would go for some type of evergreen or something with an architectural branching structure that would look interesting with snow on it....See Moretiger eye sumac
Comments (2)Sumac suckers dramatically. I have the cutleaf staghorn, and it sends out suckers about 30 feet away from the edge of the original bed. I want the Tiger Eye, just saw it this spring, but am waiting for the mid=summer sales. I have many deer and rabbit issues, but they have never bothered my sumac. Must be other things in my yard taste better....See MoreTiger Eyes Sumac
Comments (25)Don't know why I was leaning on the orange fall color before but the pattern I see in my area is a strong pink appearing at least in the beginning, producing a pink-and-yellow pattern. One of the older, as far as it goes specimens I see regularly is very yellow in the summer. It is on the south side of a building in a cool climate. I remember is as going primarily pink in the fall, guess I'm just about to see what it does this year....See Moredlromig
