General description:
Cornus alba is a shrub with high ornamental value in all four seasons. In summer, it stands out with its dense, dark green foliage, which turns red and purple in autumn, and in winter, it offers a chromatic spectacle due to its intense red branches, perfectly visible after the leaves fall. It is an excellent choice for hedges, decorative borders, slopes, or as a chromatic focal point in the garden.
