This form of flowering dogwood that reaches eight feet by four, specifically chosen to fit a small gap between a rhododendron and an enkianthus in my garden!

Hi Andrew, sorry to come so late, but I'm looking for a lovely flowering smallish shrub/tree as a specimen and thought the cornus' might provide the answer. Does it flower prolifically and does it colour well in autumn and does it make a nice looking shrub when not in flower? I have also thought about the floridas:-)

It's a bit early to say as I've only had this for twelve months. The expert is Karan at Junker's Nursery in Somerset - their website is www.junker.co.uk and she is very helpful with advice by e-mail

I've been on Junkers website, it's brilliant and I've fallen in love with c.florida cherokee sunset. I've emailed some questions and with any luck I've found my perfect specimen tree. thanks:-))
