Cornus sericea 'Farrow'
Choose Arctic Fire® Red Twig Dogwood if you want red winter stems in a smaller shrub, especially where wet spring soil is part of the site. The tradeoff: it needs periodic renewal pruning or the stem color fades.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The winter stem color carries the planting when many shrubs are bare. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It fills in quickly, which helps mass plantings but means renewal pruning matters. |
| Maintenance | B | Basic care is simple, but older stems should be removed to keep the red color strong. |
| Deer Resistance | C | This isn't deer-resistant; deer may browse it, especially tender new growth, so protect it where deer pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | Its compact habit is easier to place than many red twig dogwoods, though it still wants breathing room. |
| Screening Value | C | It can soften views in the growing season, but it drops leaves and will not give privacy in winter. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend grouping several plants rather than using one as a lone accent; the winter color reads better in a block, and the pruning is easier to manage on a schedule.

No. The stems show strongest after leaf drop; summer leaves are green.
Yes, plan on removing some older stems so new red growth keeps coming.
It is a good fit for average to damp soil, as long as the spot is not constantly flooded.

Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
