Cornus florida is grown for its lovely flowering and attractive form. Masses of showy, single, white flowers are borne in spring and are followed by red berries in autumn. It grows with a broad, somewhat pyramidal habit carrying dark green leaves which develop interesting shades of red before falling. It typically grows to about 6 m tall and the same wide. Cornus florida makes for an excellent specimen tree and is great for including in a mixed planting, or using in an avenue planting.
