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.
