The flowering dogwood is unquestionably one of the most popular
of our native flowering trees.

Spring before leaves appear.
Fall fruits are glossy, red, and persist well into late fall. Foliage turns a bright scarlet in fall.
Excellent used as specimens, masses or naturalized under large trees. Prefers
deep, moist but well-drained soil. Avoid deep planting and a hot, dry exposure.
Not reliably hardy Zone 4a.
Zones 4b-8
