Cornus nuttallii – Western dogwood, Pacific dogwood, Mountain dogwood

View prices and availability
Arbust puternic verticală, care este, de asemenea, crescut ca o formă de copac. Are un port vertical și crește mai puțin lat decât alte specii de Cornus. Crenguțele tinere sunt verzi, dar în curând devin roșu-maroniu. Tulpinile mai bătrâne au o culoare roșie-maronie spre gri. Frunzele verzi se transformă toamna în galben spre roșu-portocaliu. Florile sunt discrete. Cu toate acestea, fiecare capitul de flori este înconjurat de 6 (uneori 4 sau 8) bractee (brățări) ovoidale, ascuțite. Acestea se colorează de la alb-crem până la alb uniform, uneori cu o strălucire roz. Acestea pot depăși 10 cm în dimensiune. Acest lucru face ca planta să fie deosebit de decorativă în plină înflorire. Fructele roșii-portocalii, de aproximativ 1 cm, apar la începutul toamnei. Planta se înrădăcinează superficial, cu un sistem radicular fin, și are nevoie de protecție împotriva vânturilor reci dinspre est. Cornus nuttallii poartă numele lui Thomas Nuttall, care a efectuat cercetări și a scris publicații despre flora Americii de Nord la începutul secolului al XIX-lea.
