Some example Red-Osier Dogwood harvest areas are shown below. Dogwood stems do not generally get more than about 4-5 cm in diameter, so this material can always be cut using a manual lopper.

Photo 1: Dormant Red-Osier Dogwood in a ditch along a rail line, near Nelson, B.C. This material is a bit on the small side overall, but some usable stems were obtained here (>2½-3 cm diameter). April 15/12

Photo 3: Very nice Red-Osier Dogwood for live cuttings (some stems 3-4 cm in diameter). Growing here due to the presence of seepage water. March 30/10

Photo 5: Red-osier Dogwood growing in a seepage corridor. This material is too small for live cuttings (<2 cm diameter). March 30/10
Red-Osier Dogwood Example Area 3

Photo 6: This dormant Red-Osier Dogwood is in a low-lying very moist area along Hwy.6 near Nelson. It has usually bright red stems here — this could be a genetic trait of this individual making it ideally suited for landscaping purposes. This material is a bit on the small side, although some usable stems (2½-3 cm in diameter) were present. May 4/12
