The White Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida) is a small decidacious tree native to eastern North America. It flourishes in the wildflower and high altitude areas from southern Maine to eastern Texas. It often grows wider than its height of 30 ft when mature, providing a picturesque aesthetic with low branches forming horizontal tiers. Striking white flowers bloom in April and May, ahead of the emergence of the tree's simple, oval leaves. The leaves are 6-13 cm long and 4-6 cm wide, turning a rich red-brown in the fall. Its shiny red fruits ripen in late September and October and serve as a key food source for many bird species. The seeds that the birds distribute trigger the growth of new trees, enabling the propagation of the species. The twigs of the Flowering Dogwood have been used as natural toothbrushes for teeth whitening, while its fruits are used as a bitter digestive tonic. Apart from its beauty and utilitarian uses, the plant also holds medicinal value, used as an astringent and antiperiodic by native North American Indian tribes. The Flowering Dogwood is a fascinating plant both for its elegant aesthetic and multiple utilities, a true gem of nature in North America.
