Dogwood – Red Bark

Description

A medium shrub forming a mass of slender red stems that become bright red in winter.
In spring and summer it has greyish green, white-margined leaves and creamy-white flowers, followed by white berries in autumn.

Growing Conditions:
Grows well in most soil conditions, positioned in full sun or partial shade.

Value To Wildlife:
The leaves provide a food source to moth caterpillars including the case-bearer moth, while the flowers attract bee and the berries are eaten by many birds and wildlife.

Important Note:
You’ll receive a 2 year old well established whip that’s between 20 to 60cm in height.
This is a deciduous tree and so will shed its leaves in autumn, in order to protect itself from the cold winter weather. Come spring, it’ll burst back into bud and begin to flourish once more.
