Cornus controversa (Giant Dogwood)
In the landscape, this rounded, deciduous tree with spreading, tiered branches is very striking. Its branches stand out in the winter, and its leaves, which are bordered in a strong creamy white, provide excellent colour and texture to the garden. Single white blooms bloom in huge, flattened clusters up to 7 inches wide in early July. Autumn brings blue-black fruit, which attracts birds.
