Berries on the Dogwood Pagoda Tree (Cornus alternifolia)
Vic, Paul, and Sean help me plant it on 5/23/2010 in honor of dad.
A beautiful landscape shrub, Pagoda Dogwood (Cornus alternifolia) grows naturally along woodland edges as a small understory tree. It prefers partial sun, a moist well-drained site, and a rich soil that is somewhat acidic. Fragrant white flower clusters in spring are followed by dark blue berries on red stems in mid to late summer. The leaves turn a soft maroon color in the fall. -https://www.prairienursery.com/pagoda-dogwood-cornus-alternifolia.html
