Cornus Trees

Cornus Trees or Flowering Dogwood

These shrub / trees are renowned for their attractive early flowers in spring, and their fantastic autumnal display once the foliage has dropped they leave an attractive textured bark to be admired

These have a tendency to be classed as a small tree making it perfect for the smaller garden or terrace. Or you could always opt for a pot. They require very little maintenace making it also ideal for the non gardener.

We have dwindled through the varieties and have found these to be our go to:

Cornus Controversa Variegata - Wedding Cake Tree a focal point to any garden, the unusual tierred branches make the appearence of the tiered wedding cake. The branches are cloaked in light green foliaged margined with cream and in summer they have small white flowers. In autumn they do produce berries (not edible) and the foliage changes to shades of yellow before dropping.  

Cornus Kousa Chinensis - Flowering Dogwood - Similar to the China Girl. This is a real winner with the attractive large white flowers in spring / summer and the amazing colours of the foliage throughout auatumn, it is very rich in colours colours with reds and purple being the main ones... along with this the popular strawberry like fruits. 

Cornus Kousa China Girl - Flowering Dogwood - is a newer variety that is known for the masses of creamy yellow tinted bracts in June, The foliage is dark-green, turning striking shades of orange and red in the autumn. Small strawberry shaped, pink fruits follow in autumn (after hot summers)

Cornus Florida - Flowering Dogwood - are beautiful trees with slightly twisted, leaves that show good autumn colour. Discrete green flowers, surrounded by four showy bracts in a snowy white, appear in early summer followed by red fruits

Cornus Kousa Venus - Flowering Dogwood - this particular variety is slightly larger growing than its other and is more tolerant to drought and disease.  Bears large creamy white flowers in summer , turns rich autumn colours with red fruits.


Cornus Mas - Cornelian Cherry - deciduous variety that bears oval green leaves turning purple in autumn. Small clusters of tiny, bright yellow flowers open in late winter, to be followed by glossy red, cherry-like fruits
 

Where to site your Cornus

These should be planted in a site where they can be fully appreciated, with each season another treat awakens from these shrub trees.  

How to grow and look after your Cornus

Cornus can grow in in sun and partial shade, however the varigeated ones need full sun to get the best leaf colour
Require well-drained, fertile, netural to acidic soil but can also tolerate damp conditions 

Caring Tips for Flowering Dogwoods
Watering

Water regularly through the first few years of planting. Mulch over the top as well to help lock in the moisture

Pruning

Only prune to remove dead growth

Feeding

They require only small amounts of feed as too much of granular can end up causing the foliage to burn in hot / dry periods, once established they can get thi own out from the soil and mulching.
