Purpletwig Dogwood

So far my experience with purpletwig:

The twigs and stems are true to it's name.
Good fall colour.
It has very dark green leaves.
It tends to have larger internode distances, giving it a more open airy appearance. It tends to be taller than the native dogwood. You wouldn't be far off if you took a native dogwood, stretched all the twigs by 50% and rinsed it in black cherry koolaid.

As far as I know, same growth requirements as native dogwood.

If you like to use contrast in your garden alternate purple twig with golden variegated dogwood.

The great French Marshall Lyautey once asked his gardener to plant a tree. The gardener objected that the tree was slow growing and would not reach maturity for 100 years. The Marshall replied, 'In that case, there is no time to lose; plant it this afternoon!'
