Description
Your opportunity to purchase one of the most talked about trees in the UT Gardens because this harbinger of spring blooms beautifully in late February and early March. Prized for its showy and bright yellow blooms in the winter garden. Underused in the landscape, the Japanese Cornel Dogwood is a wonderful deciduous shrub that in addition to its showy bloom, has colorful exfoliating bark with rich grays, browns and oranges, and bright red fruits in the fall. Tennessee nursery owner and University of Tennessee horticulture alumnus Mike Stansberry introduced the Sunsphere selection. He named it for the Knoxville Sunsphere, a landmark architectural tower that was constructed as part of the 1982 World's Fair. East Tennessee is home to Stansberry’s Beaver Creek Nursery. Mature size 15’ x 15’. Tolerates full sun to partial shade. Ideal as a single ‘standout’ specimen in the lawn, in a mixed garden bed or border, woodland gardens, bird gardens or naturalized areas. Auction size: 3 -gallon pot.
