Bailtiger Sumac Foliage in Context



Here's an update on that unfurling Sumac foliage of a few weeks ago. I love the chartreuse against brown...

Where I have time, I want to talk about this job with special clients who are open to the spiritual possibilities of landscape. They lost an American Elm with a 6' diameter trunk, easily a 100 years old. In honoring the soul of the tree, we came up with an interesting tribute. More later.

A note: We actually planted the Crab Apple Purple Prince (below) in the neighbor's yard to help create privacy on my client's front porch. The foliage nicely contrasts with that of the Sumac.
