After checking the archives and finding nothing on it, does anyone have any
experience with Rhus lancea? BRBR

The genus closest to sumac which is used for bonsai is Pistacia. I have a grove
of Pistacia chinensis which I have been battling for over ten years. Somebody
in Japan won a big prize with this species a couple of years ago. From my own
experience, it is a royal pain. It is only now beginning to look like anything,
& it needs constant supervision to keep the leaves reduced. It refuses to grow
branches in any respectable manner. In a different climate, you may have better
success.
