Cornus alternifolia Argentea, also known as the Wedding Cake Tree or Silver Pagoda Dogwood, is a highly sought-after small tree admired for its elegant layered branching structure and finely variegated green and white foliage. The tree’s distinctive form and striking leaf patterns make it an excellent feature for gardens, particularly in landscapes with a focus on year-round interest.

This slow-growing deciduous tree thrives in sun to semi-shade but it should be protected from strong winds to preserve its delicate form. Hardy and resilient, it offers stunning visual appeal throughout the seasons, with its foliage turning vibrant shades as the year progresses.
