Product Description

5 Seeds Rhus lancea Karee or African Sumac

Rhus lancea, Karee or African Sumac, is a small evergreen tree native to South Africa. In nature, the trees will reach about 25 feet (7 m) tall with an equal spread. The trifoliate, linear-lanceolate leaves are up to 5 inches (12.6 cm) long, and dark green but somewhat paler underneath. In older specimens, the dark grey bark has fissures that show beautiful reddish hues. Branches are reddish to brownish-grey. In containers, the trees will conform to the size of the container making them excellent bonsai subjects. They are very drought resistant after they are established in the landscape. These trees are hardy in the landscape in USDA zones 9-11.

Blooming: In the greenhouse, the trees bloom in early spring. The small greenish-white flowers are in panicles shorter than the leaves. The trees are dioecious.
