Cornus florida 'Weaver's White': 'Weavers White' Flowering Dogwood

The state tree of Virginia, flowering dogwood grows 20 to 35 feet tall and spreads 25 to 30 feet. This cultivar appears to be well adapted to USDA hardiness zones 8 and 9. It can be trained with one central trunk or as a picturesque multi-trunked tree. The flowers consist of four bracts which subtend the small head of yellow flowers. The bracts are white and larger than the species. The fall color is red to maroon. Fall color is more vivid in USDA hardiness zones 5 to 8a. The bright red fruits are often eaten by birds.
