Pagoda Dogwood

About this plant

Known for its unique tiered, horizontal branching, the Pagoda Dogwood (Cornus alternifolia) presents a captivating silhouette, reminiscent of an Asian pagoda, even in its leafless state. In spring, a profusion of creamy white, star-shaped flower clusters emerges, blanketing the branches and offering a sweet fragrance. These blossoms give way to attractive blue-black berries in summer, a delicious treat for various bird species. As autumn arrives, the foliage transforms into vibrant shades of reddish-purple, providing a spectacular display before the leaves drop. This versatile and elegant tree serves as an excellent specimen plant, a focal point in a garden bed, or an attractive addition to a woodland border. "A Cut Above" sources only the healthiest Pagoda Dogwoods, ensuring a robust and beautiful addition to your landscape. Its manageable size and year-round appeal make it a highly desirable choice for all garden enthusiasts.

Care & maintenance

Prefers moist, well-drained, acidic soil. Protect from strong winds. Prune only to remove dead or diseased branches or to maintain shape, ideally in late winter or early spring.
