Cornus controversa 'Variegata' red Sometimes grafted onto Common limeA very ornamental, small shrub or tree, valued for its very distinct tiered growth habit and its attractive silver margined leaves. Small white summer flowers and the blueberry like fruits which follow (not edible!) add additional interest. Fairly tolerant of most fertile, moist soils. Shallow rooting.
