Red Twig Dogwood is a Fast Growing Shrub
Red Twig 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 shrub and tolerates some dry conditions as long as it has access to enough moisture throughout the year. The soil needs to be well-drained.
Characteristics
This shrub grows from five to ten feet tall, depending on the variety. The younger branches are red. Red osier dogwood makes a dramatic splash of color during the winter months. The shrub is a deciduous plant, so it sheds its leaves each Autumn. The leaves are green during the growing season and turn 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.
