Solved Tree i.d.

Hi

Please can you help me with this tree.

and also any ideas how big it would get if planted in the ground?

Thanks

Sumac? Will be a bit easier to tell when the flowers are open.

If so I think they are a pest ... suckers and all that jazz.

 

I agree with Kristen....Sumach. In the ground it will reach anywhere between 15 and 20ft depending on growing conditions.

 

Not Sumach guys, its a Sorbaria sorbifolia

Its a shrub I've grown for a few years now, a lovely thing

May eventually reach 4-5ft in the ground but as your photos show it does sucker freely once established, forming a dense clump. The suckers can be pulled up where not wanted though or potted up and grown on if removed with some roots

The flowers attract bees too - a great shrub

 

Thanks for all your replies, a quick look on Google and i agree its Sorbaria. I took this from a sucker which i cut out from another pot and was lucky and it took

 

Little update five years on, now have two pots of this plant.

 

That's a healthy looking plant you have there will562.

 

Just for the record. Sumac has a velvty covering to the stems and branches. Hence it's name. Staghorn sumac.
