Narrative
'Mason' western redosier dogwood is a vegetatively propagated cultivar (clone) that has a multi-stemmed, upright, moderately open deciduous shrub that growing 10 to 16 ft in height. The broadly branching, rounded crown may reach a width of 13 ft. Plants can spread vegetatively from horizontal lower limbs that root where they contact moist ground (known as layering). Flat-topped clusters of small white flowers appear from April until June while the white berry-like fruit are present over summer and may persist into fall. Young twigs are yellow-green in spring and summer, turning red by late summer and fall. The bark of older limbs is grey or brown. 'Mason' was selected as the best performer in a common garden study of 56 redosier dogwood clones and three cultivars evaluated at the USDA NRCS Corvallis Plant Materials Center, Corvallis, OR from 1985 to 1989. It was chosen for its rapid growth rate, greater plant vigor, higher stem density, and better foliage appearance (fewer disease and insect signs and symptoms, but not necessarily greater pest resistance). Potential use in bank stabilization along streams of low velocity, wildlife food and habitat, and for environmental improvements west of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon, Washington and northern California.
