A deciduous small tree or large shrub known for its showy, star-shaped white to pink flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. Its medium green foliage emerges in spring and turns reddish-purple in fall, adding seasonal interest. In late summer, it produces small, edible red fruits that attract birds. Its naturally rounded growth habit makes it an elegant specimen tree for gardens or mixed landscapes.
This tree grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It is hardy, low maintenance, and resistant to common dogwood diseases.
