What is dwarf dogwood?

Dogwood dwarf, or Cornus canadensis , is a flowering partial tweete that produces a cluster of spherical red berries. Its native range includes a cooler climate in the United States, Canada, Russia and China. Dogwood dwarf has a cluster of six green leaves, in the middle, which grows four bracts that look like four white petals, but in fact the leaves are modified and have no similarity to the petals above the superficial appearance. The white flowers of the plant are so small and boring that larger documents also work to attract insects such as bees and lone bees to increase the potential of pollination. Clumps of small flowers grow to create inflorescences in the middle of the documents.

rhizomous plant, dwarf dogwood can asexually reproduce and send trailers called rhizomes tunnel through the soil, away from the mother plant and send new shoots above the surface at irregular intervals. These shoots develop in a replicrodic plant. Dwarf dogwooD can also be reproduced by pollination and seed scattering. Deer and other animals on forest dwellings feed on his berries. Each fruit contains one or two seeds that are scattered as animal wandering, digestion and eventually pass through seeds.

Dogwood dwarf prefers well -drained soil and medium humidity. It requires a cooler climate and is not tolerant of hot temperatures. This plant prefers the soil rich in nutrients and moderate shade. It will not grow well, if at all, with long periods in full sun and do not tolerate on dry conditions or dry periods.

wooded areas are where the plant is most often found, colonized under large trees. Forests provide enough shade and the soil of the forest floor provides moisture and heavy nutrient content from decaying fallen leaves that form a nutrient -rich mulch. In optimal growing condition, dwarf dogwood reachIt is 12 inches (30 cm) and can quickly become primary ground coverage, limiting space, light and sources for other species. Plants form a thick carpet on the forest bottom, even surrounding the fallen trunks of trees.
