Description:
Bud's yellow twig dogwood makes a great low hedge if yellow is one of your favorite colours. It is an excellent hedge top define a parking or sidewalk area because snow can be piled right on top of the hedge without causing extensive damage to the plant. The shrub is very tolerant of browsing if deer or moose are present and because the bark is smooth and flexible it does not scratch people, vehicles or pets. The bright coloured leaves turn an amazing orange /red in the fall with bright yellow 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. |
