Wedding Cake Tree Small

Cornus controversa variegata

Cornus controversa variegata, commonly referred to as the Wedding Cake Tree, features tiered branches that bear leaves that are variegated cream and green. The foliage retains this colouring until autumn, when yellow tones develop before the leaves fall. It typically grows to 6 m tall and 4 m wide and is usually trimmed to enhance the shape. Cornus controversa variegata makes an excellent specimen tree and is ideal for including in a mixed planting, using in avenue plantings, or planting to border an entranceway.
