Comments: Handsome, eye-catching yellow-leaved selection of our native Pagoda Dogwood, discovered as a seedling by noted Chicago plantsman Kris Bachtell. The natural horizontal tiered habit is dramatically emphasized by the golden yellow foliage which maintains its color well into summer which gradually turns a chartreuse yellow during the warmest summers. Superb, vigorous, shade garden specimen.
