Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An attractive multi-stem tree usually growing to around 35 or 40 feet tall and 20 feet wide, Walter's Dogwood features attractive alligator-skin bark on mature trees and white flowers in the spring and early summer. The leaves have very visible veins that give the leaves a frilled appearance that dance in the wind.

Walter's Dogwood trees will grow in more sun than most other dogwood species but still appreciates some afternoon shade in very hot climates. Trees will do best when given well drained soil and medium water through the summer.
