Dogwoods are deciduous shrubs that have four season appeal. The spring brings neat flowers, (some are fragrant), then summer brings berries which contrast nicely with the leaves. Autumn brings the fall colors of red, oranges, and yellow, depending on the variety.

Dogwoods, botanically know as Cornus, is comprised of about 40 species. As a group, dogwoods attract a wide range of wildlife for both food and cover. Some examples are sap suckers, wild turkey, woodpeckers, northern cardinal, purple finch, beaver and deer. Dogwoods prefer to be located in a full sun to lightly shaded area.
