Staghorn sumac plants, 1-2 years old, boast hardiness in Plant Hardiness Zones 5-8. Grow your own sumac fruit berries annually for homemade pink lemonade. 

 

 Your plant, will be sent bare-root with roots wrapped in wet wood shavings and plastic, will be pruned in order to fit in the 22-inch box. Prior transplanting during the summer - remove all leaves; new leaves will sprout within 2-3 weeks. Provide shade to ease rooting, and refrain from fertilizing post-planting.

 

 Upon receiving, promptly plant the bare-root sumac in well-draining soil with full to partial sunlight. Maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during the establishment period. Prune in late winter or early spring for bushier growth, and mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

 

 Protect young plants from extreme conditions, especially in severe winters, and consider using a balanced fertilizer in subsequent springs if nutrient deficiencies appear. Monitor for pests and diseases, though Staghorn Sumac is generally resilient. Enjoy the process of growing and crafting your own pink lemonade from the tart sumac berries.
