Description
Red Osier Dogwood is a shrub rather than a tree. It can grow as tall as ten feet, depending on the variety. It is a striking plant that provides a range of attractive characteristics throughout the seasons. It is a fast-growing hedge and tolerates some dry conditions as long as it has access to enough moisture throughout the year. The soil needs to be well-drained.
The Red Osier Dogwood Reaches 5-10 Feet Tall
Depending on the variety, this bush grows from five to ten feet tall. The younger branches are scarlet. It makes a dramatic splash of color during the winter months. The bush is a deciduous plant that sheds its leaves each Autumn. The leaves are green during the growing season, turning a lovely purple shade before falling. White flowers grow in the spring and summer. This plant grows clusters of blue-white berries late in the growing season.
Red Osier Dogwood Provides Colors Every Season
It offers various colors for each season. Many songbirds rely on berries and branches for food and shelter, and bird watchers can enjoy their hobby from a convenient window. When left to grow naturally, some varieties can reach ten feet wide. They form thickets that screen views and serve as windbreaks. Red osier dogwood is not poisonous; early Native Americans used parts of it for medicine, clothing, building, etc. Few modern herbalists used the plant at this time.
There Are Many Cultivars Of Red Osier Dogwood
An American native from the Chicago region, the tree has four main cultivars or varieties. They are listed below (from smallest to largest) with some details on their differences.
This bush thrives best near waterways. It grows around ponds, creeks, and rivers, tolerating occasional drought and flooding. It prefers well-watered and well-drained soil. To maintain the scarlet branches, owners should trim older branches and allow the younger ones to spread.
Red Osier Dogwood Is A Perfect Plant For All Seasons
Red Osier Dogwood differs from deciduous trees like Maple trees. It grows as a shrub that arches over and forms thickets. A beautiful plant for all seasons, this bush provides many services with few demands.
