Cornus controversa variegata
Reading The Garden today we were surprised to see the comment that these
trees are slow growing and need training to reach the desired layered effect. We planted one when we got married in 2000 and reckon it has grown between a foot and eighteen inches each year. And without any intervention from us, it has grown into a perfect layered shape. What are the experiences of others with this tree - are we just lucky?! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |

I can certainly vouch for this. I saw it when first planted and then again earlier this summer. It has made remarkable growth. |

Cornus controversa variegata
In article , Janet Baraclough
writes I planted one in my chilly previous garden and although it didn't die it was miserable, barely moved in several years, though other trees/shrubs nearby made good growth. I suspect they don't enjoy cold or exposure much. Janet. A friend has one in her large garden and experienced the same Janet. Surrounded by happy healthy trees this thing has barely moved and looks weedy all the time. It isn't particularly exposed either though the garden is quite high in the Lee, near Great Missenden. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
