John,

This may be it. Cornus controversa variegata. What do you
think?

Thanks for that...I think you are correct. Some else mention
EUONYMUS.....Silver Queen..but I think it is the Cornus controversa
variegata.
Is a common name for it The Wedding Cake Tree would you know - or
is
that
another Cornus?
Thanks again.
John.

Yes, you are correct. It is known as @The Wedding Cake Tree'.

I wonder why its called The Wedding Cake Tree?
John

I think that it is so named because a wedding cake often has three tiers
and this tree has a distinctive horizontally tiered habit.
