Description:
This is the perfect hedge to block the view of nosy neighbours or to define a "room" such as a parking lot, backyard or secret garden. The bright coloured leaves turn an amazing orange /red in the fall with bright red bark to cheer up even the greyest of winter days. The flowers are nothing to write home about but the berries are a fan favorite for all sorts of birds. The dogwood has evolved to withstand severe browsing, so it is a great plant where deer and moose are a problem |
