Last month ’s mystery industrial plant wasRhus typhina‘Bailtiger ’ , otherwise know as the Tiger Eyes ™ cutleaf staghorn shumac . This showy sumach is an improved pick of our eastern native staghorn shumac often seen growing along wayside . It is midget and slow - farm , and sports golden xanthous , finely - cut foliation to only 6 feet tall and wide . The yellow glow turns to vivid shades of Orange River in crepuscule , and this shrub can take tough conditions . It grows best , however , in full sun to fond shade and well - drained soil in USDA Hardiness Zones 4 to 8 .
