Cornus controversa 'Variegata' | Wedding Cake Tree - 100-120cm, 10lt

Cornus controversa 'Variegata' is one of the most beautiful variegated trees. It’s a medium-sized, deciduous tree with horizontally layered branches. Its lush, ovate, dark green leaves with broad creamy margins turn yellow in autumn. The clusters of small, creamy white flowers bloom in late spring and are followed by blue-black berries, very attractive to birds, in late summer. Cornus controversa 'Variegata' thrives in rich, slightly acidic, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun, but can grow in dappled shade and adapt to other types of soil. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and can withstand frost, but doesn’t like heat. It prefers cool, moist environments. Generally, pest-free and disease-free. Cornus controversa 'Variegata' is a beautiful and elegant tree, easy to grow and low maintenance. A prefect specimen plant and a great focal point for small or medium-sized gardens. Provides good shade in summer and spectacular appearance all year round.
