Cornus amomum Mill. (Silky Dogwood, or Kinnikinnik) is a species of dogwood native to eastern North America, from Ontario and Quebec south to Arkansas and Georgia.[5] It is also found in other parts of North America. The silky dogwood is grown best in soil that is moist and has a pH between 6-7. The texture of the soil ranges from medium to coarse. This shrub is shade tolerant.[6] Other names for this dogwood include red willow, silky cornel, squawbush, and indigo dogwood.

It is a deciduous shrub growing between 6-10ft tall. The bark is a brownish red color with smooth lines trailing up when it is younger. As the shrub grows older it develops a more grey color with flaky square cracks.[7] The leaves are opposite, 10 cm long and 7 cm broad, oval with an acute apex. The underside of the leaves, as well as the bark from new and or younger branches, have small hairs that appear silk like.[8] The flowers are produced in cymes appearing in hues of light-yellow to white.[6] The fruit is a small drupe that begins with a white color and slowly changes to blue as the fruit ripens.[9][8]

Classification

Silky Dogwood is usually included in the dogwood genus Cornus as Cornus amomum Mill., although it is sometimes segregated in a separate genus as Swida amomum (Mill.) Small.

Depending on the author, two subspecies or species are generally recognized:

  • Cornus amomum Mill. subsp. amomum, or Cornus amomum Mill. - eastern + south-eastern United States.
  • Cornus amomum subsp. obliqua (Raf.) J.S. Wilson, or Cornus obliqua Raf. - eastern Canada, eastern + south-eastern United States.
