Evergreen Dogwood (Cornus capitata) is a exotic tree included in the City of Sydney tree species list. Council data indicates approximately 12 m high and 8 m spread, with a rounded canopy form. Its noted amenity value is prominent flowers. Its recorded local performance is somewhat reliable. Final selection should still account for available soil volume, services, exposure and the mature canopy required on the site.
