Hello all,
Been trying to identify this shrub with the help of a Hessayon book--is it a sambucus? https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-k...w/s640/sam.jpg Many thanks! |

Can't see the mature bark colour properly; the ones with yellow green or red barks look attractive in winter when the leaves are off. Janet |

Quote:
Sambucus is elderberry and has leaves which are divided into leaflets. I suspect you've been misled by the flowers - both have a flat head of flowers, but the Cornus flower head is usually about 6cm across, whereas the elderberry flowerhead is 15cm across.

Another question--do cornus only have the very straight branch growth when coppiced? The one I have is very congested and the branches are all quite twisted..

How do you tell that it's Cornus alba and not Cornus sericea? Can't see the mature bark colour properly; the ones with yellow green or red barks look attractive in winter when the leaves are off.
