Cornus wilsoniana is a beautiful tree that is native to China. It is commonly known as Wilson's dogwood or Wilson's cornus. This tree can grow up to 30 feet tall with a spread of 20 feet at maturity. The tree has a rounded crown and a multi-stemmed growth habit. It is a deciduous tree that sheds its leaves in the fall, revealing its attractive bark.

One of the key features of Cornus wilsoniana is its stunning bark, which is smooth and grey, with small, white spots. As the tree ages, the bark develops a patchwork pattern that is truly unique. The leaves of this tree are oval-shaped and have a glossy, dark green colour. In the fall, the leaves turn a beautiful red colour, adding colour to your garden.

Cornus wilsoniana is a popular ornamental tree in gardens and parks due to its attractive bark, colourful foliage, and showy spring flowers which give way to small, red berries in the fall. The berries are edible but not particularly tasty. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and partial shade, but can also tolerate full sun. The tree is relatively low-maintenance and is resistant to most pests and diseases.

Overall, Cornus wilsoniana is a beautiful tree that would make a great addition to any garden or landscape. Its attractive bark, glossy leaves, and beautiful flowers make it a standout tree. If you're looking for a tree that will add beauty and interest to your garden, consider planting a Cornus wilsoniana.
