Gorgeous Amy. For my new garden I've bought Cornus controversa (wedding cake tree), I think its probably similar.

Lol Amy, people will think that you have satelitte vision.
Im pleased you think it will be OK there and the nice thing is too, its in front of you as you enter the garden.

Lol..... Yours might look even more spectacular Dawn , from what I can see you will have flower heads with lots of small star shaped flowers making one large head and then black fruits in the autumn mine has single flowers then has a red berry in the autumn almost like a Raspberry .. it would be nice to have a collection of the different kinds :o) do you think you will have flowers this year ?

I must go and look to see if there are any buds, havent been over on that part since the weekend, lol, been in the greenhouse, potting on etc.
They are so nice, arent they, it would be nice to have a few, like you say.

I have seen them as quite tall trees San .. at least 12ft I don't know how old they would have been ..

thanx amy, a bit big for mine i think.

That is gorgeous, Amy, spectacular! I love these . . . but have had one for 6 years (Eddie's White Wonder), and still no bracts. :((
I believe they prefer acid soil?? But at least my Cornus controversa variegata is flowering . . .

Michaella and Simbad - apparently some varieties flower "early" while others can take years - so lots of luck with finding a good one!

I wonder if it depends on how big the shrub was when you bought it Shirley , mine flowered the next year after buying it .. at least you have your Cornus c.v flowering thats good news .. they are special :o)
