Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Gorgeous dark-green leaves cover this small (10-15' x 12') dogwood, beautifully adorned in spring with masses of white flowers which then develop into interesting and edible mandarin-orange colored fruits in May-June. A real gem for the small yard! S-PSh/M PPAF

This plant was found by nurseryman Tim Brotsman, Ohio. Mandarin Jewel was named for its mandarin orange fruit in the fall. The green foliage makes a pretty background for the white bracts in June. In fall, the foliage turns lovely yellow-orange-red.
