The Dogwood tree grows to about 30 feet tall, with a 35 foot spread at maturity. It is a flowering tree. The flowers are actually tiny and yellow and surrounded by larger, white, leaf-like structures called bracts. The leaves turn a dark shade of red in the fall. The �Cherokee Princess� cultivar is recommended for its generous foliage and early blooming. The red fruit that grows on this tree is inedible to humans but may attract wildlife.
