Comments:
Commonly multi-stemmed, has flaky bark and is easily transplanted. Not as subject to diseases as other dogwoods. Best reserved for landscape plantings where winters are quite cold. Cannot tolerate the hot, humid South. Often seen as being more shrublike than treelike, especially for several years after planting.
