it can sucker though the one in our last garden never did.

It does sucker, but if you don't prune and just let it grow naturally, it tends not to.
Pam, my internet is driving me mad - it keeps dropping out in the midst of things...

and I don't think I ever pruned it Bamboo!
Mine keeps going off too, but we have had thunder and then hail for the last 2hrs!

its windy here, and I have noticed my internet plays up more on windy days, lord knows why...

They are easily propagated by root cutting, so they tend to sucker after root disturbance. Not going to happen in the Rhus typhinus in the pic as it is surrounded by concrete.
Am a bigger fan of Rhus typhina 'Dissecta' (Laciniata) as it is that more graceful in presence.
