Cornus wilsoniana, called ghost dogwood or Wilson's dogwood, is species of Cornus native to central and southeastern China.[2] A tree typically 5 to 10 m, rarely reaching 40 m, it has leaves with white undersides, profuse white flowers in May, and striking grey–green mottled bark on mature specimens.[3] The purplish‑black fruit are harvested for vegetable oil, the leaves are used for fodder, and the timber is valued for tools and furniture. Its well-shaped crown and attractive bark has led to proposals that it be developed as a street tree.[4]
