Gray Dogwood vs Madawaska Raspberry
Cornus racemosa
Rubus sp. Madawaska
ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Gray dogwood is a thicket-forming, deciduous shrub with greenish-white blossoms in open, terminal clusters. Young twigs are red and the fruit pedicels remain conspicuously red into late fall and early winter.
Fruit itself is a white, 1/4 in. drupe that usually does not remain on the shrub for long.
Great for naturalizing wild areas, this shrub attracts birds and other wildlife.
Note: This species is currently unavailable. Grow your own using Gray Dogwood seeds at SeedTime.ca.
The Madawaska Raspberry is a productive, early-fruiting variety with dark red berries that are juicy with a medium sweet flavor. They are very winter-hardy with great disease resistance. The berries are great for fresh eating and for baking or preserves.
The Madawaska Raspberry is a primocane variety. Prune stalks down each winter or early spring to get higher fruit yields and easier harvesting.
