Description

The National Audubon Society presents a new line of native trees that helps birds and wildlife thrive in your area! The Audubon® Native Gray Dogwood (Cornus foemina (racemosa)) features red stems, white blooms and berries, plus lovely gray branches!

The late spring flowers appear as clusters of white blossoms that later transition to beautiful white fruit. Each pearly white berry is supported by red stems and are especially attractive in the winter months after the fruit is gone and the red stems remain.
