Best planted it in a sheltered, shady site to encourage its leanness. The needles are pressed close against the branches, giving vertically held, whippy looking sprays that, on close inspection, can appear rather coarse looking. It is the narrowest, most 'pencil like' of all columnar conifers, making it very useful for landscape people. These look attractive planted in rows or either side of a doorway.

Rhus glabra Laciniata
Stag's Horn Sumach/Fire Fern
Common Name: Stag's Horn Sumach/Fire Fern Latin Name: Rhus glabra 'Laciniata' Soil: Moist, well-drained soil Position: Full sun Flowering period/colour: Summer/ Yellow-green Hardiness: Very hardy Eventual height/spread: 3m/4m Special features: Bold autumn colours of vivid red and bright orange. Sometimes known as the 'Fire Fern', this eye-catching tree gets its common name from its fern-like foliage which turns to fiery shades of red and orange in autumn. The long, feathery, fern-like leaves are held on spreading branches and are a solid green colour in spring and summer: the stems are deep red and contrast beautifully with the leaves, which adds further interest. In summer, yellow-green conical flowers appear and these turn to bright red fruits in autumn. This deciduous tree is very hardy and will thrive in any sunny spot in the garden. We would recommend planting it alongside the Cytisus battandieri as the silvery-green leaves of the Cytisus make the perfect foil for the fiery foliage of the Rhus Laciniata.
