This dogwood weeps so strongly it will nearly crawl across the ground if it is not staked early in life. The weeping branches are an advantage when it comes flowering time and the blooms are easily visable. Makes an excellent wide spreading speciman, or stake for a taller thinner habit. Only 6-8?tall and wide in ten years.
