Cornus Controversa Dogwood

Cornus controversa (Giant Dogwood)

Giant Dogwood

Cornus controversa, commonly known as the Giant Dogwood, is a medium-sized, deciduous tree that features lush foliage that emerges mid-green in spring, ages to become dark green, then develops colourful red and purple tones in autumn before falling. The tree is adorned with clusters of cream-white flowers in summer which result in small, dark blue berries. It typically grows to 10 m tall and 6 m wide. Cornus controversa makes for a lovely specimen tree and is a great choice for adding to a mixed planting, or using as backdrop for smaller plants.
