Comments:
A spectacular tree when in bloom. This early summer flowering dogwood produces a multitude of brightly colored fruit in fall and early winter. It is somewhat resistant to the leaf disease that attack other dogwood species. Best reserved for locations with cold temperatures. Does not tolerate the hot, humid conditions of the South.
