'Budd's Yellow' is a yellow twig dogwood cultivar that is noted for its bright yellow twigs in winter. It is a rapid-growing, multi-stemmed, suckering, deciduous shrub on erect, usually unbranched stems. Bright green leaved turn attractive shades of yellow, red and purple in the fall. Tiny yellow flowers, which bloom in late spring, are not very showy but turn to small white fruit that are preferred by birds. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments and deer. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
