White Flowering Dogwood Tree | Cornus 'Eddie's White Wonder'
The Highlights
- We don't know who Eddie is, but his tree certainly is wonderful. Every May you'll see it covered in masses of large, creamy white flower bracts up to 12cm across. The bright green spring and summer foliage turns to shades of ruby red and vibrant pink to warm up those autumn days
- Grows naturally into a neat dome shape with minimal pruning
- A hardy, robust and low maintenance deciduous tree
- Grows to just 4m tall x 3m wide, making it ideal as a specimen tree in a smaller garden, in a larger mixed border or even in a container
- Provides all-year round interest to your garden with colours for each season and brilliant wildlife appeal
- Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching.

Water regularly during growing season
Water the tree regularly throughout the growing season. The tree is drought tolerant once established, and also tolerant of flooding
Full sun to partial shade

Any fertile, well-drained soil

Feed in spring
After planting your tree add some slow release, general purpose fertiliser and mulch around the tree to ensure all the water and nutrients get to the roots. Over time, replace the mulch and feed the tree with slow release fertiliser annually in spring to help the plant maintain its growth and health. ?v=1613300929
