Gray Dogwood
Brandon Cedar

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.

The Brandon Cedar is a columnar evergreen with soft, dense foliage that retains its bright green color all year round. It makes for a great vertical accent on your property or as part of a hedge, it is suitable for urban gardens due to its size and it is highly shade tolerant.
