Description
Plants reach 10' in height and width forming an upright-rounded, dense shrub. The strongest grower of the Lake County Nursery "Counties of Ohio" series of gray dogwoods, this selection is especially attractive during the winter months when its distinctive gray stems are best displayed. Creamy-white flowers are followed by white fruits and persistent red pedicels which remain attractive after the fruit has been consumed by birds. Disease resistant.
