The Pink Flowering Dogwood tree, Cornus

appear in the early spring before the foliage
comes out. The foliage turns a brilliant red in
the fall, followed by bright berries which last
into the winter. The trees grow to a height of
15 feet. This deciduous tree is the Classic
Single Pink flowering beauty. Very popular and
widely planted.
Pink Flowering Dogwood trees have bright red
fruits, which are loved by birds, and mature in
early fall and usually persist until the middle
of December. The reddish brown wood is extremely
hard and has been used to make tool handles. It
is a great landcape and ornamental tree.
