H: 15FT W: 20FT

The flowering dogwood brings four-season beauty to any landscape. In early spring, its branches are covered in showy white “flowers” which are actually clusters of small yellow-green blooms surrounded by four broad, petal-like bracts. In summer, the tree displays dark green foliage before turning rich red-purple in the fall. Clusters of glossy red fruits follow, feeding songbirds and wildlife well into winter. It has a low, broad form and layered branching. Native from Maine to Mexico and the state tree of Missouri and Virginia, it remains a timeless favorite for home landscapes.
