    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This is an excellent Dogwood well-loved for its grand display of bright red, edible, strawberry-like fruits. Pretty white spring bracts have just this tiniest hint of pink at the edges. Perfect as a focal point, this 20-30' spreading tree also features a fine autumn display of crimson leaves. S-PSh/M
