Also known as an Evergreen Dogwood, Cornus capaitata is an evergreen, rounded, low branched tree with dense, oval, lanceolate, grey/green foliage.

They attract lots of birds when in fruit and are generally a very attractive and hardy garden specimens. An excellent ornamental specimen tree best suited to medium to larger gardens, as the look really good at a distance as well as up close.
