Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Cutleaf smooth sumac is a vigorously suckering cultivated variety of the native smoth sumac. Its leaves are compound with lance-shaped leaflets. The leaflets are different than smooth sumac in that they are finely divided, giving it a ferny appearance. The leaves turn a brilliant red in the fall.
The clusters of small green-yellow flowers are not that noticeable, but develops into red, fuzzy fruit in late summer through fall, persisting through winter. Spreads by suckers readily.
Cutleaf smooth sumac is not currently growing at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. It grows well in the Colorado Springs area, but may be susceptible to deer damage.
Pull up sucker plants to control colonization and prune any dead or damaged branches.
