Cornus elliptica Empress of China (‘Elsbry’) – (Dogwood)

Cornus elliptica ‘Empress of China’ is a graceful, semi-evergreen dogwood prized for its year-round beauty and elegant form. This large shrub features glossy, dark green elliptical leaves that remain throughout winter in milder climates. In late spring to early summer, it produces an abundance of creamy white, star-shaped bracts, which mature into strawberry-like red berries in autumn. Growing to 4 metres tall, it prefers well-drained neutral to acidic soil with partial shade to full sun. ‘Empress of China’ is perfect for woodland gardens, borders, or as a stunning specimen tree with seasonal interest.
