This is the largest of the native dogwoods and usually the first to bloom. It can grow to more than 70 feet in height and it does well in moist climates. This is a very beautiful native dogwood with large bracts and good fall color. We are losing this tree in the Northwest from a fungal disease called anthracnose.
