Redoiser or red-twig dogwood is a multi-stemmed shrub with red twigs. Flat-topped clusters of white blossoms are followeed by clusters of small white berries. Works well in natural plantings in moist soils where it will be allowed to spread. Also performs well in wet locations along streams or ponds and will aide in soil erosion problems.
