Pollination Info for First Editions Tiger Eyes Sumac (Rhus typhina 'Bailtiger' PP16185)
First Editions Tiger Eyes Sumac, also known as Rhus typhina 'Bailtiger', is a beautiful ornamental shrub known for its stunning golden foliage and striking red fruit clusters. When it comes to pollination, Tiger Eyes Sumac is dioecious, meaning that it has separate male and female plants.
