Yellow Twig Dogwood
Yellow twig dogwood (Cornus sericea 'Flaviramea') is a deciduous shrub that is known for its bright yellow stems in the winter. It is a native of North America and can be found in moist woodlands and along streams. Yellow twig dogwood is a popular choice for landscaping because of its unique appearance and its ability to thrive in a variety of conditions.
Yellow twig dogwood typically grows to be 6-8 feet tall and 7-9 feet wide. It has a multi-stemmed habit of growth and slender, arching branches. The bark is smooth and gray-brown in the summer, but it turns bright yellow in the winter. The leaves are green and oval-shaped, and they turn yellow, orange, and red in the fall.
Yellow twig dogwood blooms in the spring, producing clusters of small, white flowers. The flowers are not particularly showy, but they are attractive to pollinators. The flowers are followed by small, white fruits that are edible to birds and other wildlife.
Yellow twig dogwood is a relatively low-maintenance plant. It prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. It is also drought-tolerant once established. Yellow twig dogwood does not require much pruning, but it can be pruned in the late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to control its size and shape.
Yellow twig dogwood is a great choice for a variety of landscaping uses. It can be planted as a single specimen plant, in borders, or in mass plantings. It can also be used to create a hedge or to cover a slope. Yellow twig dogwood is also a good choice for planting in wet areas, such as near ponds or streams.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
