The dogwood, Latin name cornus, is often considered the most spectacular of native flowering trees. These single- or multi-stemmed trees feature a spreading crown and long-lasting, showy, white or pink spring blooms. Following the bloom period are clusters of red berry capsules, which attract wildlife. Dogwood trees typically have short trunks and crowns of spreading or nearly horizontal branches. Graceful, horizontally tiered branches are full of oblong, ovate, green leaves which turn scarlet-red in fall. Their ornamental appeal makes dogwoods a popular deciduous tree choice for any landscape.
