 | | | Shrubs for Heavy Soils: Common Dogwood (Cornus sanguinea) The Common Dogwood is a large, colourful and versatile shrub. It does well in most conditions, including on heavier soils, and suckers freely, making it a good hedging plant. It has red spring twigs and autumn foliage, delicate white flowers in the spring, and black berries that attract birds.
Dogwood was known to Chaucer as "Whipple Tree", and the orgins of the name are obscure. They are said to lie in the Anglo-Saxon "dag" (skewer or dagger), for which the plants hard wood might have been used. More obviously, its berries have become known as dogberries.
Provenance certificates are available on request for these trees, which are from the Southwest of England.
