Chinese Sumac Suckering
The Chinese Sumac(Rhus chinensis) has started suckering after the hard winter killed back the main stem to the ground.
Chinese White Poplar
The Chinese White Poplar(Populus tomentosa) is closely related to the common White Poplar(Populus alba). I wouldn’t be surprised if it suckers someday.
Bristly Locust Flower
Bristly Locust(Robinia fertilis) has attractive pink flowers. These shrubs spread via suckers, but also have viable seed.
Evans Cherry Suckering
Evans Cherry is good at suckering and I can dig the suckers up and create more Cherry bushes. The above photo shows the Lilac and Evans Cherry suckers intermingling.
