This is a tree that delivers beauty in every season – spring brings a wonderful and profuse display of snow-white flowers with narrow petals that hang in a profusion of 4-inch clusters. These develop into clusters of showy, olive-sized blue fruits in summer and fall. In fall too, the leaves turn clear shades of gold and yellow, making an attractive fall display. In winter the bark is attractive too, peeling and shedding in strips to create patterns of grays and browns. A great plant for out on the lawn, or at the back of shrub beds, where it will be a beautiful and different addition to your garden, creating exactly the unique look that makes a garden distinctive and special – and isn’t that what we all want our gardens to be?

• Beautiful spring display of fragrant snow-white flowers
• Summer and fall display of dense clusters of blue berries
• Handsome leathery green leaves
• Bright fall coloring in golds and yellows
• Shedding bark reveals patterns of grays and browns

Grow the Chinese Fringe Tree in full sun for maximum flowering, but it also grow well with a few hours of shade each day, and also in all-day light, dappled shade beneath large deciduous trees. It grows in most soils, preferring loams or clays, and needs well-drained soil. Protect from deer – other pests or diseases are normally not seen on this tree, which is easy to grow and generally trouble-free. Pruning isn’t required, unless you want to limit the number of main stems to develop a more tree-like form.]]> typically grows no more than 20 feet tall, although in good conditions it could in time reach 30 feet.

Growing 15 to 20 feet tall and wide, it makes a great hedge, or fills an empty corner perfectly. Great spring flower display, edible fruits that make interesting preserves and syrups, and attractive, rugged flaking bark all add up to an interesting garden plant that isn’t seen enough. As well, it is easy to grow and resistant to anthracnose, the disease that has killed so many of our native flowering dogwood trees.

• Bright spring display of yellow flowers on bare twigs
• Edible red ‘cherries’ in summer that make great preserves
• Rugged flaking bark adds winter interest to your garden
• Small tree or large shrub, and great for hedges too
• Not affected by dogwood anthracnose or borers

Grow the Cornelian Cherry Dogwood in full sun or partial shade in any well-drained soil. It grows best in moist, richer soils, but is tough and easy to grow. Grows well in heavy clay soils too. Ignored by deer and resistant to both dogwood anthracnose and borers. Generally untroubled by minor pests and easy to grow. Can be trained into a small tree with a single trunk, or grown as a multi-stemmed shrub. Prune or trim after spring flowering is over.]]> This European species gives a great spring display of trusses of yellow flowers on a rounded small tree or large shrub, followed by clusters of red ‘cherries’ that are edible, and also loved by birds.
