Variegated giant dogwood (or wedding cake tree, as it is sometimes called) can be summed up in one word -spectacular! Although often awkward looking in youth, these ‘ugly ducklings’ become swans as they mature. The branches of this tree are held out in horizontal tiers with brightly variegated leaves, giving the appearance of snow-white frosting spread over the branches. In May, this dogwood produces delicate, lacy white flowers that are followed in late summer by deep black berries. The berries glisten against the variegated leaves and are a favorite of birds.
