Flowering Dogwood

The Flowering Dogwood is a small to medium tree that produces beautiful white flowers, which has led to this tree being prized for landscaping. The flowers themselves are actually quite small and inconspicuous, but they are bunched together and surrounded by bracts, which appear to most people as petals. These bracts are usually white, but they can also be pink or red. Flowering Dogwoods typically flower in April to May, and in the fall, they produce bright red berries that grow together in small clusters.
