Cornus florida 'White' is a garden staple that crafts a symphony of seasonal variance, earning the common moniker, White Dogwood. Famed for its moderate size, maturing elegantly to heights of 15 to 30 feet, the tree offers a dynamic natural spectacle throughout the year. This begins with the eruption of distinctive, four-petaled white flowers in spring, which segue into summer's lush, green canopy speckled with bright, red berries. As the cooler months approach, the foliage transforms into a vibrant tapestry of red-purple hues. White Dogwood's show doesn't end with autumn; winter reveals textured bark that contributes an appealing and intriguing dimension year-round. Equally attractive for its environmental resilience as for its visual charm, this alluring tree thrives in a variety of soil types under full sun to partial shade, with moderate water usage.
