    With the same beloved white dogwood flowers in spring this small 15-20' tree adds a touch of yellow with its pretty foliage tinted yellow-green and its unusual bright golden-yellow fruit, autumn finds it ablaze with crimson; a fine choice for a specimen tree, plant it where you can admire the interesting fruit.
