Venus Dogwood
General Information
Venus Dogwood is a very nice ornamental tree. It works well as a focal point, in a screening function or in a variety of other landscaping areas. It is a small, spreading densely branched tree. The foliage is broadly oval in shape, with a very glossy appearance. The leaves have a very nice dark green color all through the spring and summer months. In the fall, the leaves are a wonderful red in color. The flowers are quite large, growing up to 6 inches in width. They are creamy white in color and bloom in profusion, almost covering the tree. These flowers bloom in the late spring to early summer. In the fall, round, strawberry-like fruits form, adding to the fall season interest.
