Cornus racemosa 'Emerald' (KOR-nus rass-ih-MOE-sah) is a native shrub dogwood more compact than the species, with semi-glossy emerald green foliage and showy white fruit. Purple fall leaf color and rosy pink pedicels make it a fine choice for the woodland edge. Silvery gray bark in winter adds interest. White flowers in spring. Rarely suckers.
This cultivar of a U.S. native offers showy fruit, purple autumn color, and attractive bark.
Provide full sun to partial shade and, preferably, moist soil. Will tolerate drought.
