Redtwig Dogwood........


I didn't cut this to the ground last fall and it seems very thick.  I have read in Garden Design magazine that one should do it every year.  Maybe this fall I will try it to see if it thickens out wider at the base.

The red twigs make a unique photograph.

The redness of the wood makes it a striking photo.
The branches look as smooth and red as our Eastern strawberry tree.

Thanks for contributing your comments at Jerusalem Hills. They and you are welcome there.

"Some of my best friends" are Iowa farmers. I worked with them at Heifer Ranch (Heifer International) in Arkansas. Great folks.

Your Dogwood makes a really interesting picture. It's very pretty against the green of the grass.
