Discover the unique characteristics of Rhus punjabensis, commonly known as Punjab Sumac, an intriguing deciduous tree reaching heights of up to 40 ft. Not only known for its hardy nature in USDA zone 5, this versatile plant thrives in well-drained sandy, loamy, or clay soils, whether they are acidic, neutral, or alkaline. Its preference for moist, sunlit environments makes it an excellent choice for various landscape applications. Punjab Sumac showcases an eye-catching inflorescence, 15-20 cm long, with densely pubescent white flowers blooming in June. With its dioecious flowers, it relies on bees for pollination, requiring both male and female plants for seed production. Notably, the plant is renowned for the oil extracted from its seeds, which solidifies into a tallow-like substance used for candle making. Attractively featuring purplish-red drupes at maturity, Rhus punjabensis is both a visual and functional addition to your garden.
