Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Producing its beautiful, snow-white, overlapping blossoms prolifically and at a young age, this 10-15' tree is a glorious sight in spring. Flowers give way to small but showy bright-red fruit which are loved by song birds. This cultivar is showy in fall as well when the leaves turn a pretty russet color. Another bonus is that this low-maintenance tree also seems to be more tolerant of both heat and cold. S-PSh/M

Cloud 9 is well known for blooming at an early age. Even small, young trees are covered in extra large blooms. Cloud 9 grows smaller than the average dogwood, and is very ammenable to smaller gardens.
