Cornus florida and florida Rubra (Flowering Dogwood) – multi-stem

Flowering Dogwood is a real celebrity in the spring. The large, showy bracts on these trees are visible from quite a way off, and they produce interesting round seed heads after blooming. Autumn is another chance for these trees to shine – the leaves change to reds, pinks and oranges before the leaves drop for the winter. It’s a small to medium sized tree that’s good for smaller spaces.
