Dogwood trees are known for their white flowers that illuminate the forest during the spring time. The Dogwood flower bud opens with four brights most commonly called flower petals changing to a glowing pure white and the flower is shaped like a white cross. Many people feel that the pleasing fragrance of the white cross shaped dogwood flower has an important religious significance. The Dogwood tree is most often found growing as an under story tree in the forest and most homeowners usually will plant the Dogwood trees underneath other bigger shade trees where they grow very well, even underneath pine trees. Very few landscape plants or trees will survive when planted underneath pine trees. The Dogwood tree is a medium size tree that grows to about twenty feet in height and the spread of the branches is about the same. Dogwood trees are very resistant to droughts and can even survive in full sun although they grow much better underneath the shade of other yard trees like oaks and maples. The Dogwood tree is the most popular flowering tree that is planted in the United States. The popularity began when the first settlers came to America and both presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson featured rows of dogwood trees that were planted at their estates in Virginia.
