Shuma Tree

[blueboots]

I want to buy a shuma tree for my garden but can not find one on the web anywhere, or any descriptions when using google. Have I got the name wrong? any ideas welcome.

Hi Blueboots, Never heard of it. Can you describe it? Height, does it have flowers - their color, when it blooms, color of leaves, shape of leaves. Do you know where it comes from? The name sounds Asian. Is the tree from India or Japan? Newt

Do you mean Stag's Horn Sumach (Rhus)? There's a pic halfway down this page but most of them that I've seen go very fiery red in autumn & not yellow. http://www.fujilab.co.uk/infocus_post_28_10_02/florapix_gall eries/flora_gal5.html

I think there's a new sumach cultivar called Tiger's Eye or something like that. it has smallish very cut leaves and seemed to be turning yellow rather than reddish. it also only gets to be about 6 foot high but don't forget these trees send out loads of suckers so beware!
