Tips

To keep your Rhus typhina 'Dissecta' healthy and well-shaped, prune back hard at the end of winter or early in spring. This will encourage new growth and maintain the plant's size.
Although this shrub has average water needs, be mindful not to overwater, as it does not have high drought resistance.
When planting, ensure that you choose a location that will accommodate its mature size and that provides sufficient sunlight to encourage the most vibrant autumn foliage display.

Ideal placement of a Rhus typhina 'Dissecta'

Rhus typhina 'Dissecta' thrives when positioned in full sun to partial shade. This preference allows its foliage to develop the vivid red, orange, and yellow hues that characterize its autumn display. The plant is adaptable to a range of soil types, provided they are well-drained. To achieve its full potential, including a maximum height of 4.5 meters and a bushy growth habit, ensuring ample space for development is essential. The location should also accommodate its upright form and cater to its average water needs, especially in regions that do not experience prolonged drought conditions.

How do I plant a Rhus typhina 'Dissecta'?

When planting Rhus typhina 'Dissecta', it is crucial to select a location that accommodates its mature size, providing ample space for its upright to bushy growth habit. This species thrives in both sun and partial shade and is not particular about soil type, though well-drained soil is essential. As it comes pot-grown, it allows for flexible planting times. Upon planting, ensure consistent watering to establish a robust root system, which is particularly important for young plants. Over time, this shrub displays a stunning transition of foliage color from green in spring and summer to a vivid display of red, orange, and yellow in autumn.

Pruning a Rhus typhina 'Dissecta'

To encourage a robust structure and maintain the striking form, it is best to prune Rhus typhina 'Dissecta' at the end of winter or early in spring, before the new growth starts. This vigorous shrub responds well to being pruned back hard, which can also help to contain its size and stimulate the growth of the deeply cut, ornamental leaves that give this plant its distinctive appearance. Pruning should be done with clean, sharp tools to ensure clean cuts and prevent damage to the plant.

Watering a Rhus typhina 'Dissecta'

The Rhus typhina 'Dissecta' requires consistent moisture to thrive, particularly in well-drained soils where water runoff is more prevalent. While it has an average water need, attention to hydration becomes critical during periods of dry weather. To support healthy growth and the development of its striking autumn foliage and fruit, ensure that the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Watering should be done deeply and less frequently to encourage a strong root system, rather than shallow, frequent watering which can lead to weaker root growth. During the hottest parts of the summer, monitor the soil moisture levels carefully to maintain optimal plant health.

Fertilising a Rhus typhina 'Dissecta'

To ensure the vigorous growth and striking autumnal display of Rhus typhina 'Dissecta', a consistent fertilization regimen is key. Fertilize this deciduous shrub once annually in early spring to kick-start its growth cycle. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer is optimal, providing a steady supply of nutrients throughout the growing season. Apply the fertilizer according to the manufacturer's instructions, taking care to distribute it evenly around the base of the plant, avoiding direct contact with the trunk. Water the plant thoroughly after applying fertilizer to help integrate the nutrients into the soil. This feeding strategy will support the shrub's development, particularly aiding in the production of its characteristic feathery foliage and vibrant autumn hues.
