The flowering dogwood is native to the eastern half of the United States. It is a most handsome tree, with scarlet berries in the fall and green flower clusters in the spring. The tiny flowerhead is surrounded by four white or pink petal-like leaves.
Legend states that its timber was used for the cross in Christ's crucifixion and its blossom is shaped in the form of a cross.
You tree is beautiful:) We do not have flowers, we have SNOW....
