Cornus alba L.= Swiden alba
One of the most common species in culture. In nature, it is found in floodplains, among shrubs almost throughout Russia, as well as in China, Korea, and Japan. Grows in the undergrowth of dark coniferous, often swampy forests, shade-tolerant hygromesophyte, mesotroph.
Shrub up to 3 m tall, with thin flexible, mostly coral-red branches, rarely red-brown or black-red. Young shoots are usually with a bluish bloom. The leaves are dark green, bluish-white below, broadly ovate, somewhat wrinkled, up to 10-12 cm long, turning purple-red in autumn. The flowers are small, white, collected in numerous corymbose inflorescences up to 5 cm in diameter. It blooms very profusely in the first half of summer and again in early autumn, when at the same time with flowers you can see ripe, spherical, berry-like fruits. white color with a bluish tint.

In GBS since 1938, 5 samples from Khabarovsk, Bryansk, Copenhagen, reproductions of GBS. Shrub, at 20 years old, height up to 2.6 m, crown diameter 300 cm. Plant grows from 1.V ± 6 to 12.X ± 4 for 163 days. Flowering and fruiting from 3 years. Blossoms from 4.VI ± 3 to 16.VI ± 4 within 12 days. The fruits ripen on July 28 ± 8. Weight of 100 fruits is 26 g. Weight of 1000 seeds is 26 g. Winter hardiness is complete, seedlings do not need shelter. Seed viability 100%. Produces plants from garden reproduction seeds. Seeds sown in spring (IV) after 2 months of stratification germinate within a month. 100% cuttings take root when treated with a 0.002% solution succinic acid. Seed germination lasts 2-3 years.
It is very winter-hardy, heat-resistant, grows on various soils, shade-tolerant, tolerates city conditions well. Propagated by seeds, layering and cuttings. Used to create undergrowth, edges, large groups and hedges. Can be grown in standard form. If the bush form is not cut, the shrub is exposed below and does not look neat. Therefore, low pruning of old bushes in early spring makes the bush more lush. Young shoots appear quickly.
Deserves the widest distribution in the green building of the middle and northern zones of Russia, not only for its frost resistance and unpretentiousness, but also for the sake of high decorativeness. Beautiful foliage in summer has a whitish-gray color; autumn red and dark purple; summer foliage goes well with red shoots, especially decorative in winter against the backdrop of snow and dark conifers. Looks good in single and group plantings, as a polleska under the canopy of trees with an openwork crown. Exceptionally effective as an edge and in the undergrowth of birch groups. In culture since 1741.
Decorative forms: silver bordered(f. aigenteo-marginata) - leaves with a creamy-white border, carmine-red in autumn. The bark is red, height 2-3 m; Kern(f.Kemii) - leaves with yellow spots; Siberian(var. sibirica) - undersized form with bright red shoots, light green, and brown-red leaves in autumn; Kesselring(var. Kesselringii) - shoots are black-red, or purple-black.
"Argenteo Marginata". In GBS since 1938, 6 samples (29 copies), almost all vegetative reproductions of GBS. Shrub, at 40 years old, height 4.6 m, crown diameter 300 cm. Vegetates from late April to the second half of October. Blooms from the first decades of June to September Fruits every year, the fruits ripen from the first decade of August until frost Full winter hardiness Ornamental variegation, quite often used in Moscow landscaping.

"Elegantissima"(" Argenteo-marginata "). Shrub height up to 3 m. Very winter-hardy. Showy red shoots, especially bright in winter. The leaves have a wide creamy-white border of uneven width, as well as spots and stripes. The variety is similar to" Sibirica Variegata "by the size of the bush and the color of the shoots, but there is more white on its leaves, and therefore it looks lighter, it also has an autumn color. It grows quickly.
"Gauchaultii". The leaves of this shrub (1.5 m high) have white, yellow and pink spots. Very often this form is confused with the "Spaethii" form. Unlike the leaves of "Spaethii", this shrub is medium in size, slightly drooping, with pink shade.
"Sibirica". In GBS since 1949, 1 sample (16 copies). Shrub, at 17 years old, height 3.5 m, crown diameter 440 cm. Vegetates from the second decade of April to the second decade of October. It blooms and bears fruit annually. It blooms from the end May to early September.Fruits ripen from late July until frost.Winter hardiness is complete.
"Sibirica "Aurea". Shrub 1.5-2.0 m high, with leaves of a pleasant pale yellow color, which grow on erect reddish shoots. The flowers are creamy white, sometimes it blooms a second time in autumn, and then both flowers and bluish-white fruits hang on the bush at the same time.
"Sibirica Variegata". This shrub of medium (up to 2 m tall) size has leaves with a wide creamy white border, spots and stripes. In autumn it also acquires very interesting shades. At this time, the white border surrounds the purple rather than green middle of the leaf. In winter, shoots of a bright , deep coral red bark, very similar to 'Elegantissima' but not as vigorous and therefore well suited to small gardens.
"Spaethii"Shrub up to 2.5 m tall. The autumn purple-purple color of the leaves is interesting, with which the brushes of white fruits effectively contrast. In winter, the stems are rich red. Leaves 5-7 cm long, unevenly bordered around the perimeter with a wide golden stripe, with spots and stripes.This color lasts throughout the growing season.In the spring, when blooming, the leaves have a beautiful reddish-orange tint.In GBS since 1964, 2 samples (6 copies), seedlings were obtained from Winchester (England), there are plants of GBS vegetative reproduction Shrub, at 8 years old, height 2.3 m, crown diameter 200 cm Vegetates from late April to early October. Blossoms from early June. Fruits do not set. Partially freezes in winter. 100% of summer cuttings take root.
There is also a variety "Aurea Elegantissima" - a yellow-motley form.
Derain white, or svidina, is the one unpretentious plant, which is loved by amateur gardeners and professional landscape designers. Everyone is attracted by the decorativeness of an unpretentious shrub, the variety of its forms and varieties, as well as the ease of crown formation.
Derain description
(Cornus) belongs to the family dogwood (Cornaceae). Not all types C.capitata, C. controversa, C. florida, C. kousa, C. nuttallii) are adapted to our climate. They are best grown where there are no such long and frosty winters as in middle lane Russia. When buying planting material, you should pay attention to this. I was once let down by the desire to buy a wonderful bush of an unknown species, derena blooming (C. florida). Its branches turned black immediately after the first frosty winter. In our harsh climate, several winter-hardy types of deren grow well and bear fruit. The most popular of them is derain white (Cornus alba). It is also called white svidina, or white dogwood. In the people, white deren is known as reddened.
There are two flowering peaks during the season: in May - June and in August - September. At this time, the bush is decorated with numerous corymbose inflorescences of white or cream flowers. Individual inflorescences appear throughout the summer. It is worth taking a closer look at the derain flower. This is a real tiny laboratory in which everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Crawling and flying insects work in it. They are responsible for cross-pollination. When the nectar supply runs out, the nectar disc at the base of the column turns red. Insect pollinators receive a signal: the flower no longer needs their services. For self-pollination, a fallback is provided, in which the stamens of one flower are in contact with neighboring flowers of the same inflorescence.
Derain white (C. alba) is the most popular species adapted to the conditions of our climate zone. It is originally a large shrub with spreading flexible branches of red, brown or brownish-red color. In nature, krasnothal can be found along roadsides, on the edges of forests, along the banks of lakes and rivers. Among the bushes there are beauties with dazzling red bark. In autumn and winter time such bushes are clearly visible from afar.
Species sod looks beautiful at any time of the year. Admire the plasticity of the interlacing of the branches. White rounded fruits (berries up to 8 mm in diameter) at the end of summer adorn the shrub at the same time as the recently appeared flowers. Very little time passes, and the foliage changes color to autumn. It becomes bronze-crimson, orange or burgundy.
white derain care
Derain white - frost-resistant, undemanding to the soil shrub. It can feed for a long time on the stock of organic matter and minerals that were previously introduced into the planting pits. The shrub responds well to top dressing wood ash and watering. Svidina endures spring stagnant water. Many varieties cope even with occasional drought. The best place for white turf (especially variegated varieties) - a bright sunny area.
Propagation of white deren
White derain is propagated by seeds, cuttings and layering. Usually the shrub blooms and begins to bear fruit from the age of three. Seed viability approaches 100%. Freshly harvested seeds are sown in autumn, stratified seeds are sown in spring. On my site, derain seedlings appear in the most unexpected places, birds are most often the culprits. They spread the seeds of several bushes growing on our site, and those bushes in hedges, which the neighbors "fenced off".
Decorative forms are best propagated by vegetative methods so as not to lose them. best qualities. Rooting of green cuttings is not always possible, in addition, they often freeze out in the first winter. But the rooting rate of cuttings from lignified shoots is almost one hundred percent. Even pegs and garter poles made from fresh or slightly dried turf branches come to life. This is because the plant has an amazing feature: the root buds are under the bark along the entire shoot and are ready to wake up as soon as they find themselves in suitable conditions. Ease of reproduction allows you to get free even varietal planting material. Ask your neighbors for at least one branch or pick up a few shoots left over from cutting neighbors' bushes. Our huge bush of species white turf with red bark was grown from a shrub shoot found at the edge of a forest near Moscow. True, we had to hunt for such an elegant derain.
Formation of the crown of white derain
Deren is a real find for gardeners. You can do wonders with it. A wide range of decorative forms and varieties of white derain allows you to use this shrub for decorating the site one hundred percent. Here are some tips for a gardener who picks up a pruner or saw.
In order to form the backbone of a shrub, old branches that have lost their luster are cut down. Remove excess shoots, broken and ugly branches sticking out to the sides. In summer, pruning corrects the shape and limits the growth of branches in an undesirable direction. The shape of the bush has to be maintained by regular pruning. It can be carried out practically all year round, excluding a short period of active sap flow. Of course, winter is not the best time to form a crown, although it is not forbidden to cut off a certain amount of "extra" branches. Svidina tolerates pruning painlessly. Shoots grow back quickly, which allows you to correct mistakes made during the previous formation, or give the bush a new shape.
Column. On our site there is a four-meter column of species svidina (with green leaves and scarlet bark). This shrub grew from cuttings. If you look closely at those turf bushes that grow on the banks of rivers, in the undergrowth, on the slopes of ravines, along roads and in many other places, you can see that they are all a little different. Among them there are shrubs with very bright red bark. Even the only rooted shoot of such a shrub eventually turns into beautiful bush. The species derain has a desire for unbridled growth. If I left it to myself, then there would no longer be room on the site, not only for other plants, but also for us. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to restrain the growth of a viable shrub.
I leave only strong branches directed upwards and part of the overgrowth so that the bush takes on the appearance of a column. It is important not to overdo it here, as too high a narrow “column” can collapse. It rests on powerful old shoots that have not yet lost their luster of bark. The skeleton of the bush is a good support. Young shoots and shoots become the filling of the column.
Arc. From the long branches of the specific deren, bent into an arc, beautiful green arches are obtained. Sometimes in the summer I create such an arch by bending down those tall young shoots of the “column” that are 1.5 m from the fence. The arch between the bush and the two-meter fence not only decorates the site, but also gives shade on a hot summer day. This option of using tall deren can be beaten by decorating the area with arches between neighboring bushes or between a bush and some kind of structure, a fence.
Hemisphere. The turf, shaped like a hemisphere, looks beautiful. For this, every year in early spring or in autumn, two-year and three-year-old shoots are cut at a level of 10 cm from the ground. This technique stimulates the rapid emergence of new shoots and rejuvenates the shrub. In addition, low pruning (especially of old bushes) at the very beginning of spring is necessary so that the shrub does not become bare from below and has a lush crown. Some winter-hardy variegated pigs, for example, a low (about 1.5 m) variety "Ivory Halo" ("Ivory Halo"), are simply created to form them into a hemisphere. Without pruning, the bush eventually becomes bare from below and looks worse than formed.
Sphere, cube and other figures. We have two spectacular deren bushes on the site. One - Gouchaulty (Gouchaultii). It is a medium sized bushy shrub with green leaves edged with a jagged wide yellow line with a faint pink tint. Another - elegantissima (Elegantissima). Every year, with the help of large garden shears, they alternately turn into either a cube or a ball. This allows not only to decorate the site with living "figures", but also restrains the uncontrolled growth of shrubs. You can beautifully shape the shape of a variety bush Siberian Variegata (Sibirica Variegata). At the end of the season, all of its foliage turns purple-red. Several domestic firms offer white turf seeds Caranthus. According to the picture and description printed on the seed bags, it is very similar to Sibirika Variegata.
Popular derain white Elegantissima = Argenteomarginata (Elegantissima = Argenteomarginata) - up to three meters high - has foliage decorated with a wide uneven white stripe. The variety is also suitable for creating spectacular bushes in the form of a ball or cube.
Stamp forms. Derain white, formed into one trunk, can be turned into a low tree, a "panicle" or a ball "on a leg". For this, one shoot is selected, which is intended to become a bole. The rest of the shoots are cut at the root. The stem is regularly cleaned of buds and emerging branches. It is better to tie it to a support. To form the crown, the top and all new upper branches are shortened. The directions of the buds that are at the ends are taken into account in order to create a crown of a certain shape with geometric accuracy. It is necessary to monitor the stem all the time. To do this, blind the kidneys and cut off the shoots. White variegated sod is ideal for growing in standard form. Ivory Halo (Ivory Halo).
Hedges. When creating hedges from pork, dried and broken branches are regularly cut out, thinned out, the width and height of the hedge are adjusted, and the line is corrected. Spectacular "fences" are obtained from pork elegantissima (Elegantissima), a tall (up to three meters) winter-hardy shrub with white-edged bluish leaves and red bark of branches (in winter). The hedge looks good Aurea Elegantissima (Aurea Elegantissima) with yellow-variegated leaves. Without regular pruning, a beautiful and neat hedge from any derain eventually turns into impenetrable thickets that capture new spaces.
Row ornamental varieties gave deren white Siberia (Sibirica, Koralle, Westonbirt). It grows in damp places, more often along rivers in Siberia, Manchuria and northern China. In autumn, light green leaves turn purple-red or dark purple. This is a tall (up to 3 meters) deciduous shrub with strong long erect shoots. Around the bush there is always a lot of overgrowth and creeping side shoots. In spring, the bright red bark turns slightly green, and before the onset of winter, it turns red again and acquires a shine. Dark green leaves have a light bluish color underneath. Creamy white flowers are collected in corymbose inflorescences up to 5 cm in diameter. They appear in May - early June. Flowering continues for a long time. Later, the shrub is decorated with white pea fruits with a slightly bluish tint. Hedge of this deren needs regular pruning. Without it, the bush will lose the scarlet color of the branches in winter. For a hedge of medium height I can recommend Siberian Variegata (Sibirica Variegata) - a dense compact bush with large leaves, decorated with a wide white uneven border.
Ideal for hedges that require minimal trimming, white sod Shpet, or svidina Spathi, dogwood Shpet (Spaethii). It is a shrub about 2.5 meters high with leaves bordered around the perimeter with a golden yellow wide stripe, and with red-brown bark. Derain white Shpeta is the most “yellow” variety, in which the blossoming leaves seem to be bronze. Later, a wide golden stripe and spots appear. Some leaves remain completely yellow. Spathi Pork Hedge is suitable for a sunny location and needs to be good watering. Unfortunately, in the northern regions in winter it can partially freeze. Instead, varieties often sell a less tall (1.5 m tall) variety Gauchaulty (Gauchaultii, Froebelii) with slightly drooping leaves. They have a narrower and less “golden” border strip. Such sorting in a tall hedge can cause ugly failures. Lovers of yellow will also like white derain Aurea (Aurea) with plain soft- yellow leaves. Bush in height (1.5 - 2 m) is also suitable for hedges.
White derain feels great in a hedge Kesselrings (Kesselringi) 2-3 m high. It is necessary not only to regularly shorten the lower branches, but also to ensure that the top line of its fast-growing shoots is even. Bright green leaves turn purple in autumn.
Natural form. Most amateur gardeners are faced with the fact that they do not have the time (effort or desire) to engage in regular pruning of the turf, which is necessary to maintain a given shape. For lovers of the natural form of trees and shrubs, we can advise a fairly winter-hardy Argenteomarginata (Argenteomarginata) with light green leaves adorned with creamy white spots and a border. From a distance, the bush appears silvery. The hand does not rise to prune its beautiful branches. In this case, gentle pruning is suitable, in which only damaged shoots are removed and the dimensions of the bush are restrained. Derain white Aurea (medium-sized shrub up to two meters high with a bushy crown) also looks great in its natural form. Its leaves have so much yellow that they look golden in a sunny or slightly shaded place.
Variety Kesselrings (Kesselringii) also looks great in its natural form. This tall, dense shrub sometimes needs to be thinned out to better show off the intense coloration of the dark brown-red bark. Most of shoots directed upwards. The lower shoots form a "skirt" that a lawnmower can handle. To rejuvenate the bush, it is cut off “on a stump”. A tall single bush can decorate the site.
Grows for some time without pruning and cultivar Gauchaulty (Gauchaultii) up to 1.5 meters high. His freedom ends as soon as he begins to crowd neighboring plants and interfere with the passage.

Features of planting white deren
Probably, there is no more unpretentious and beautiful plant than white derain. Planting and caring for it is quite simple and will not cause you absolutely no difficulties.
Deren grows well in shady areas
Best suited for him open areas or those that are located in partial shade. Svidina prefers moist soils rich in humus.
Attention! Give your plant a good drainage system so that the water does not stagnate.
Before planting, the seedling is immersed in water for a couple of hours. IN landing pit do not forget to add compost and humus. Upper layer soil needs to be mulched. This procedure will protect a still young and fragile plant from harmful weeds and excessive drought in the summer.
How to provide the plant with proper care?
As mentioned earlier, svidina will delight you with its ease of care and its unpretentiousness. Mulch the soil around the plants with organic materials. Do not forget about timely moderate watering during the dry period, loosening the soil, as well as weeding. Not less than important point in the care of white turf, pruning comes into play.
Pruning turf before wintering
The nature of this procedure will depend on the climatic conditions of growth and on your personal preferences. If you want to see beautiful red shoots in the winter season, then prune in early spring. At the same time, branches should be cut near the ground. Over the summer, the shoots will have time to grow. Such pruning of the derain will contribute to its greater splendor, however, it will reduce the abundance of flowering and the number of berries on the plant.
If you prefer its flowering and growth in height, then carry out the formative pruning in the fall. Just shorten the pork branches to the desired height. Such pruning will contribute to a neat appearance and the creation of a harmonious shape.
Advice. To renew old, overgrown plants, it is necessary to prune to the very root every few years.
Propagation, feeding and fertilizing plants
Svidina accepts two methods of reproduction:
- seeds;
- cuttings.
White turf seeds will not ripen at the same time, so collect them one by one. They remain viable for up to 5 years.
White berries
Before boarding seeds plants must undergo several months of stratification. A mixture of moss, peat, sand and sawdust is layered with seeds and stored at temperatures up to 5 degrees Celsius.
Sowing seeds in open ground produce late autumn or early spring. For each square meter area should be sown at 10-15 g of seeds. The planting depth should be about 5 cm. The bushes will grow to their usual size only after 5-8 years. With seed propagation, the sod will germinate only for 2-3 years.
Rooted cuttings of deren
breeding method cuttings will be more efficient and faster. To do this, you need to cut green, slightly lignified cuttings from a large bush. They are planted in June. Before the onset of autumn, they have time to develop their root system. In winter, young shoots are insulated or transferred to basement, and in the spring they are already planted on permanent place. The process of planting a plant in the ground, when propagating in this way, you can see in the following photo.
Top dressing for white sod is optional, but it will affect its healthier, more beautiful and blooming view. It does not hurt to contribute once a year to spring period mineral top dressing, and in summer - organic.
Dangerous diseases and pests
Adult mature plants are rarely exposed to various diseases, which cannot be said about young shrubs. They can be attacked by powdery mildew (fungal infection). This infection appears on the leaves in the form white plaque, drops of liquid and, most often, occurs in early spring. As a result, the deren ceases to bloom, and its foliage becomes pale and dry.
Scale comma-shaped
To avoid powdery mildew, the plant must be watered under the root, thin out the root system in spring and autumn. In already infected shrubs, diseased branches are removed and sprayed with special solutions.
Most dangerous pests comma-shaped scale insects protrude (damage leaves) and aphids.
