I am retired and enjoy pottering in the garden. I love the wildlife that visits. I don't like pulling anything up so my garden is unorganised like me

Rhus typhina 'Dissecta'

Such a great shrub. Not too high growing and feathery leaves. Does sucker but easily removed. The original one was in a neighbours garden. The one that grew in mine was spectacular until harsh winds broke it. Luckily it had suckered so I had a new one 😂😂

The fruit of sumacs can be collected, soaked and washed in cold water, strained, sweetened and made into a pink lemonade.[10] The leaves and berries of staghorn sumac have been mixed with tobacco and other herbs and smoked by Native American tribes.[11] This practice continues to a small degree to this day. @amyb240288 👍

My original one was beautiful great colour and shape. Unfortunately it was damaged by bad winds, it was about 25 years old ! This is a sucker but it is nowhere like the parent. It does sucker but easy to control at least here in Canvey Island lol. We had some come up in the lawn but with regular mowing they were soon eradicated. I love it so I have another sucker coming up but I have cut a couple down as they are in the wrong position @angiecrazycatlady 😍😍😘
