Cornus elliptica seed
LATIN NAME: CORNUS ELLIPTICA
COMMON NAME: Oval-leaved Dogwood
In the evergreen forests of the southern hills, the oval-leaved dogwood grows as a small, evergreen tree with the oval, glossy, dark-green leaves and the flat heads of small, white flowers in the early summer, the clusters of small, pinkish-red fruits ripening in the autumn. Over time it grows an open, airy crown, reaching twenty metres or more. Choose full sun and deep, fertile ground for this plant.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The oval-leaved dogwood shows up in the studies of the evergreen dogwoods of the south, its glossy leaves and its pinkish-red fruits keeping it in view in the work on the understorey trees of the southern forests and the ornamental dogwoods of the mild garden. The research looks at the way the flat heads open in the early summer, the pink fruits ripen and feed the birds, and the seed biology of the hard, grooved seeds.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
In the sheltered garden of the mild south, the oval-leaved dogwood carries the glossy, evergreen crown and sets the pinkish-red fruits that draw the birds in the autumn. The neat, compact tree asks for little, and the tree makes the fine small specimen, the evergreen feature and the tree of the sheltered garden. It is a tree for the sheltered, shaded, deep and acid place.
To grow the Oval-leaved Dogwood from seed, clean the seeds from the orange-red fruits and give them a cool, moist spell.
Clean the seeds from the orange-red fruits and give them a cool, moist spell, and keep the young dogwoods in the sheltered, shaded spot. The pink fruits ripen with the autumn.
LATIN NAME: Cornus elliptica
COMMON NAME: Evergreen Dogwood
The evergreen dogwood is a handsome, upright, broad, evergreen shrub or small tree of the warm woodlands, and its fine, glossy, oval leaves and its small, inconspicuous, greenish flowers surrounded by the four large, white, petal-like bracts, followed by the small, round, red berries, have made it a treasured plant of the warm garden. It turns into a compact, leafy clump, up to a metre tall. It is a species of the flowering plant in the dogwood family, and it is native to the warm woodlands of the eastern and the south-eastern Asia, while it is grown as a treasured ornamental plant, and it is known as the evergreen dogwood.
The evergreen dogwood belongs to the dogwood family, Cornaceae, and it is a species of the upright, broad, evergreen shrub, native to the warm woodlands of the eastern and the south-eastern Asia, while it is grown as a treasured ornamental plant, and it is known as the evergreen dogwood. It is prized for its fine, glossy, oval leaves and its four large, white, petal-like bracts.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The evergreen dogwood has a real and distinguished place in the research. It has been studied in the horticulture, since its fine, glossy, oval leaves and its four large, white, petal-like bracts have made it a treasured plant of the warm garden, and researchers have examined its growth, its flowering and its cultivation, while its value as an ornamental plant has drawn attention in the international horticultural press as a plant of the warm garden. The plant has also been studied in the botany and the ecology, since it is a native of the warm woodlands of the eastern and the south-eastern Asia, and its relationships, its distribution and its role in the wild have been examined, while the ecology of the woodland shrubs has been of continuing interest, and its fine, glossy, oval leaves have been of interest to the botanists. The species has also been studied in the food science and the ecology of the birds, since the small, round, red berries are a fine food of the birds, and researchers have examined the berries and their value, while the study of the winter food of the birds has been of continuing interest, and the berries are best left to the birds of the garden. For a plant of such fine beauty, the evergreen dogwood has a rich and continuing record of study.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
Ecologically, the evergreen dogwood is a generous plant of the garden. Its four large, white, petal-like bracts and its small flowers feed the bees and the many insects, and its small, round, red berries feed the birds, while its fine, glossy, evergreen leaves give a fine cover and a shelter to the wildlife through the year.
Its economic value is real. The evergreen dogwood is prized for its fine, glossy, oval leaves and its four large, white, petal-like bracts, and its beauty has drawn attention in the international horticultural press as a plant of the warm garden, while its fine, evergreen form has made it a treasured plant of the warm garden and the woodland garden. For a grower, the evergreen dogwood is an easy and rewarding shrub, and for a gardener it brings a white-bracted, red-berried, glossy-leaved plant to the warm garden. The seeds are easy to start — give them a period of cold, damp storage in the fridge, then sow them just below the surface of a pot of moist, free-draining soil, keep them gently watered, and theyll be sprouting steadily, growing on into a white-bracted, red-berried, glossy-leaved plant.
