The white fruited, Red-Barked Dogwood (Cornus alba) is a fast-growing, native, British ground cover species.  Differing from our other Red-Barked Dogwood (Cornus sanguinea), which have small black berries, this Dogwood has appealing small white berries, which are preceded by pretty, small white flowers.  As with the other Dogwood, wintertime is when it is at its most showy, as when the leaves have fallen, red-orange stems are revealed.

Benefits of using our plug plant trees

Our Dogwood ground cover trees are sold as plug plants, in other words the roots are encased in compost. This means that planting can be carried out at any time of the year, provided they are watered in periods of drought, compared to bare-root plants which can only be planted during the plants normal dormant period (November to March).  All of these trees are UK grown, which is important for successful establishment.
