WANTED: Looking to trade for staghorn sumac

15 years ago

Hello - New to these forums, so please bear with me!

I'm going to plant staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina) in my garden this year, and I know a lot of people find it weedy, so before I go out and buy it I thought I'd see if anyone had any they wanted to be rid of.

I have lots of odds and ends to trade -- Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora', Convallaria, puh-lenty of tulip tree seedlings that will be coming up, lots of things I could provide cuttings of. If you've got Rhus, get in touch and I'll provide a list.

Thanks!

Andrew

Certainly have staghorn sumac.....yes, we find it weedy here; but I try to recall that the definition of a weed is "a plant out of place." What would suit you, in terms of amount & size?
