I can't believe there are no positive comments on this tree. It has always been my favorite native tree. Not just for its floral display ...Read More(if that's proper since the white petals of the flower are actually bracts) but also its form, bark and fruit (red berries) are all attractive. And did I mention that it grows and flowers in quite a bit of shade being an understory tree. I love this tree and could not allow myself to leave this page without giving a big hooray for cornus florida. Also I used to live in Saltsburg PA where the woods where so full of them that they where almost weeds, but removing them from the wild should not be an option. Buy one instead. Too many of our natives are disappearing where they once grew freely.
Does the Dogwood qualify as a flower? It's my state flower!
Anyway they're a dime a dozen around here and I can't imagine actually...Read More paying for one of these!! Even pinks and reds can be found in the woods around home-site ruins from long ago.
I will say this is a pretty easy tree to graft and experiment with. So get out the duct tape and a nice sharp razor!
