    As it is a Cornus, can i treat it as such and plant it in a wet damp part of my clay filled garden ?

    Thanks for any advice

    Cornus alternifolia argentea?

    I have a feeling that this MIGHT be sold as grafted plants and as such it will depend on the root stock.
    But unless its waterlogged I'd give it a go.

    The ones I`ve seen, and the ones I`ve sold, weren`t grafted. A good, 15ft specimen, is quite impressive.
