Dogwood tree

The dogwood tree is a magnificent and widely cherished deciduous ornamental tree native to eastern North America. Renowned for its stunning spring display of large, showy bracts that mimic petals, it also offers vibrant autumn foliage and clusters of bright red berries that provide essential food for local wildlife. Typically growing as a small to medium-sized understory tree, it adds exceptional multi-season visual interest to gardens, woodlands, and suburban landscapes. Cultivating a dogwood tree requires well-drained, acidic soil and partial shade, mirroring its natural forest habitat to ensure optimal growth and long-lasting health.
