Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This lovely columnar dogwood makes the perfect choice for smaller gardens or patios. Reaching only 10-15' tall by 4-6' wide, its smaller size does not apply to the blooms which can be up to 7" wide! The large white spring flowers and bright-red edible fruits make a bold statement in a small package. Foliage turns deep shades of scarlet in autumn too. S-PSh/M PPAF
