Cornus amomum 'Cayenne'
Choose Cayenne Dogwood for damp, open areas where you want red winter stems and wildlife value. The tradeoff is size: this is not a tight foundation shrub, and it looks best with room to grow in a naturalized border.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | Its red winter stems, berries, and fall color give it strong seasonal presence in a mass or mixed shrub border. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in at a useful pace when planted in the right moisture, but it is not a tiny, slow accent shrub. |
| Maintenance | B- | Plan on renewal pruning older stems if you want the best stem color and a cleaner habit. |
| 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 | D | Its broad, bushy habit needs more room than most front-yard foundation beds provide. |
| Screening Value | B | It can make a seasonal privacy buffer, but it is deciduous and not a formal evergreen wall. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Cayenne Dogwood for the back of a damp border, pond edge, or naturalized screen—not as a front-step shrub. Prune out older stems periodically to keep the red winter color coming.

No, but it handles moist and damp ground better than many shrubs.
Young stems carry the best color, so renewal pruning helps.
Yes, the berries can support birds, though fruiting varies by site.

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!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
