Cornus walteri, also known as Walter's dogwood, is a stunning deciduous tree native to eastern Asia. Growing up to 16m tall, this tree produces simple, opposite leaves and small, fragrant, white flowers in the spring. The flowers are followed by round, reddish-purple fruit, which is a source of oil. The hard wood is used for making tools, and the tree itself is commonly planted as a street tree. Cornus walteri is an easy-to-grow plant that can grow in any soil of good or moderate fertility, ranging from acid to shallow chalk. It can tolerate semi-shade to full sun, making it a versatile addition to any garden.
