Sumac -- Tiger Eyes
Botanical Name: Rhus typhina Bailtiger


Description:
Another major difference is that it spreads slowly and should not be invasive. They prefer full to part sun, are not particular about soil type and best of all, are quite drought tolerant once established. Spectacular color is what makes 'Tiger Eyes' Sumac special. Its leaves emerge chartreuse-green in early spring, turn bright yellow during the summer weeks, then burnt orange and deep scarlet in fall. The branches angle upward on pinkish-purple stems while the deeply serrated leaves drape downward, creating an elegant lacy look.
