Red Dogwood

$12.00

Red Dogwood is an ornamental shrub with red stems that can be used for basketry in the same way as Basket Willow. It has lovely white flowers and berries in summer and the leaves turn an orange-red colour in autumn before dropping.

Very hardy, it grows fast to about 2m tall and is happy in most soil types.

Growing & Using Red Dogwood

Best stem colour is achieved in full sun but will tolerate some shade. Prefers moist soils over dry but is happy in a variety of soil types.

Coppice in winter to get the best new growth for weaving. Check out this post for how to put together a great looking wreath from the growth or get really adventurous and learn how to weave a basket!

Uses

Said to be a mineral accumulator (Calcium, Phosphorus & Potassium), the leaves should be left on the ground as a mulch when they drop in winter.

We are utilising this plant as a fairly fast growing space filler that helps to protect slower growing crop trees from wind, weeds and too much sun.
