The word cornus also means horn and may be a reference to the strong and durable timber. Nowadays the genus <em>Cornus <\/em>includes two herbaceous and about 40 woody species, mainly in Eurasia and North America.<\/p>\n<p>This subspecies of Siberian dogwood is a broad shrub whose lower branches often touch the ground, when they can root. The inflorescences are white, and produce round, remarkably white berries, sometimes with a bluish tint. The colours of foliage and stems vary and the most colourful forms are sold as nursery varieties. The most popular in Finland has been the so-called \u201ccoral dogwood\u201d (<em>C. alba<\/em> \u2018Sibirica\u2019), whose stems are a very strong red when grown in full light, even in winter.<\/p>\n<p>American dogwood (<em>C. alba<\/em> subsp. <em>stolonifera<\/em>) differs from the eastern subspecies in the shape of its narrower leaves, slightly earlier flowering, rounder white berries and abundant root suckers.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"keywords\">\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ryhmittely\">Lehtipuut ja -pensaat<\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Cornus<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Cornus alba<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Cornus alba subsp. alba<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","alueet":[],"kasvilajit":[1705,1095],"class_list":["post-15579","kasvit","type-kasvit","status-publish","hentry","kasvilajit-cornus","kasvilajit-deciduous_trees_and_shrubs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit\/15579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kasvit"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"alueet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alueet?post=15579"},{"taxonomy":"kasvilajit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvilajit?post=15579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
