I can't imagine a dogwood with a bad hair day.. They're all gorgeous to me.
Thanks Cindi... There aren't many Austins that aren't wild things.. I used to grow Sweet Juliette that was smaller. Queen Nefertiti is also HT in form..
'Green Ice' looks really nice. It's got that sweet noisette/polyantha look that I'm searching for. 'Sweet Chariot' could also work in that space. I do know a guy that does custom budding, but it would take a couple years, and I'm not that patient anymore.
But speaking of custom grafts... I have a 7' standard 'Renae' that I got from him that needs a support. There is nothing that I can find that is pre-made and tall enough.
This will probably be the last year I can cut it back enough to fit a hoop over it's head.
