White Dogwood

Native small to medium sized tree with white spring flowers
== Desc ==
A small to medium sized tree. The Pink dogwood is known for its white flowers. It flowers in April like the other Conus Florida varieties. They have pretty big showy flowers that are in big numbers. They dominate the tree in April, as they flower before leaf-out occurs. Leaves will form a few days after the flowers have opened. Flowers bloom for about a week, before dropping. Leaves are about 3-5" long and are ovate. Leaves turn red in November or late October, before dropping. Little red berries in clusters mature in September or early October. Fruits are edible, but not very tasty. They have distinct flower buds that are visible since fall. Leaf buds are not visible until spring.
