Cornus Nuttallii

* A very ornamental tree. An inland population occurs in central Idaho . Cultivated examples are found as far north as Haida Gwaii . * This species is the floral emblem of British Columbia.

Shrubs like rhododendrons and mountain laurel are even better as they also provide flowers. Recently, there has been much selection within these dogwoods for colourful summer foliage as well as more diversity in stem colours.

The flowers are small (5–10 mm diameter), with four yellow petals, produced in clusters of 10–25 together in the late winter, well before the leaves appear. Juicy, with a nice acid flavour.

Any type of mulch will do but cypress or hardwood mulch will be of a higher quality and provide better nutrition overall as they breakdown. That is why we do not recommend planting in a hole any deeper than the soil line of the plant in the pot.

Mulching helps to keep weeds away which will compete with your new investment for water and nutrients. It creates a barrier between the roots of the plant and fungus and pathogens that can cause root rot.

A good dense ground cover plant, growing well in light woodland. * The fruits look like berries but are drupes . The drupes are green, globose round in shape and turn bright red at maturity in late summer, each fruit is 5 mm in diameter and contains typically...
