Comments: Birds eat the fruit. It grows in a wide range of soil types and water conditions and is tolerant of drought. Use in naturalistic settings. Fungal leaf spots are a problem late in the season. Can hardly compare to the regular flowering dogwood, but will grow in conditions where the regular flowering dogwood would never grow. A large specimen tree can be quite attractive in flower and for sure in the fall when there is a heavy fruit set.
