Covered in white flowers in Spring and berries in late Summer, Cornus alternifolia is a small understory shrub arching branches reminiscent of a pagoda.
Host plant for nearly 100 moths and butterfly larvae including the Unicorn Caterpillar (Coelodasys unicornis). A mighty food source for birds feeding hungry chicks in Spring!
Berries of Pagoda Dogwood are high in fat and mature just in time for migrating birds. They are also vital food sources for many overwintering birds like Evening Grosbeaks!
SHRUB DEETS:
Grows 15-20’ tall with a 10-20’ spread
Prefers part sun to part shade; happiest with afternoon shade between noon and 3pm.
Thrives in average to moist well draining soils. Tolerant of poor and/or clay soils.
Grown for you by White Oak Nursery in 5×8 tree pot
Reserve your shrub before September 5 for invitation to our private ‘Early Bird Party’ on September 12
