Cornus alternifolia ‘Golden Shadows’
In the summer this cultivar shows pretty yellow-edged leaves, combined with distinctive horizontal layered branching it gives a beautiful effect. Cornus alternifolia ‘Golden Shadows’ will stay a bit smaller than the common alternifolia and is therefore also suitable for the smaller garden. The branches get the same dark red colour when they get older.
‘Golden Shadows’ can easily withstand the winter cold but needs a little shelter. The size after 10 years is about 2 meters
