CORNUS sericea

Redosier Dogwood or Red Twig Dogwood is a loose, multi-stemmed, broad-spreading shrub. The attractive, smooth bark of the young stems is a showy red, maturing to rough textured gray-brown color over time. The grass green foliage turns color with cooler fall temperatures, often to a reddish purple. Clusters of cream-white flowers form in the spring producing dull white fruit in late summer.
