How to plant a seedling
Sumac plant can and autumn, and spring. You need to choose a more adult plants, they quickly take root. A place for planting is better to find the sublime. You need to dig a hole 50 to 50 cm. At the bottom pour expanded clay for drainage, and then a small layer of fertile land. The plant is not whimsical to the soil, but for the first years of growth need good nutrition. When planting can not bury the root neck. Put the bush into the hole and fill the turf ground, mixed with humus or compost. Then pour.

note
Pay attention to the varieties: the southern species may have (in the middle lane) do not like, that is not winter. Smoke tree with green leaves is more resistant to frost than the Reds. Young seedlings better cover for the winter leaves or spruce branches.
Another piece of advice. No need to be planted near the plant with other plants, as a shrub extracts essential oils that many cultures do not like. And it is not planted it under a large tree, as it will slow down the growth of the plant, and it will not have enough light.
