| I would really like to have a Tiger Eyes Sumac but I don't know if it will survive my climate. I live in south central Texas and the summers get into the 100+ and we can get a few freezes in the winter. I have not seen this plant at Lowe's or HD which makes me wonder if it will grow here. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks Mary |

| Big box stores offer an extremely limited selection. Do you see any other sumacs growing in yards near you? 'Bailtiger' is a type of staghorn sumac. |

| First, Lowe's or HD should be the last place you look for an indicator of whether something will grow there. Second, our Sunset National Garden Book says it will grow there. Try a decent nursery. And be aware that they sucker - not as aggressively as some others, but they do. Dan |
