Rhus typhina – Rhus typhina

View prices and availability
Rhus typhina is usually a large shrub and can grow into a small, sometimes multi-stemmed tree. The 3 -5 m tall crown is jagged, open and broadly fan-shaped. The young branches are particularly striking. These are red-brown and densely and softly velvety-haired. It has given R. typhina its Dutch name Fluweelboom. The odd-pinnate leaves consist of 11 to 31 leaflets. These are oblong, with serrate leaf edges. They are dark green on top and a striking blue-green on the underside. In autumn, the leaves turn intense orange to deep purple-red for several weeks before falling off. In winter, the open, jagged crown comes into its own. In June-July, the densely hairy, upright flower panicles appear. They possess numerous small greenish-yellow flowers. The small fruits are red and also appear in dense dark red hairy panicles. They remain in the tree until after the leaves fall in autumn, completing the beautiful autumn scene.
Rhus typhina grows best in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. The tree tolerates some drought. Because of its large pinnate leaves, the tree is only moderately wind resistant.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
