A very ornamental small tree with horizontal ascending branches. Mainly planted as a specimum, the Wedding Cake tree, Cornus controversa variegata is quite magnificent clothed in May with clusters of cream coloured flowers amid its variegated leaves. Blue black berries appear in autumn and the foliage turns a rich purple-red. A surprisingly hardy tree considering its delicate foliage, Cornus like sun or partial shade and fertile well-drained soil. Birds and wildlife benefit from the flowers and fruit. Like all trees the Cornuus will appreciate a weed, mulch and compost in spring when young.
A slow growing grafted tree. Height in maturity 7m x 4m / 22ft x 12ft
Special features: Spreading ascending branches of variegated leaves Symbolism, Folklore & Old Wives Tales: A wonderful tree to celebrate a wedding!
The tree is watered before being carefully packed by one of our experienced staff on site. It comes in a cardboard box lined with straw. (We try to use as much recycling material as possible) The box is addressed to the customer or a specified name and address and sent out overnight delivery to arrive on requested dates.
Please note the size of the tree that you are ordering, as our trees are provided for our clients to plant themselves, which may appear at a small size rather than the fully grown tree as shown in the photos. To find out more information, please visit our Delivery & Returns page.
