About the Dogwood -
Yellow Twig :
The Dogwood 'Yellow Twig', Cornus sericea 'Yellow
Twig', is a medium sized shrub with bright yellow
twigs. These yellow twigs provide a good contrast
against any Red-twig with its yellow fall color. The
foliage is medium to dark green in summer, followed
by purplish fall color. The twigs are green in
summer, but turn bright clear yellow in fall and are
quite conspicuous in winter, especially if planted
in groups with one of the red twigged dogwoods.
Pruned twigs invariably die back to the next bud
and turn black from there to the pruned end of the
twig, leaving ugly black ends on bright yellow
twigs. Prune with care; remove branches or twigs
only at the ground line. Plant in full sun and
provide a well watered location.
