Dogwood can grow in the form of bush or small tree. It rarely exceeds height of 15 to 25 feet. Dogwood produces simple, green leaves with wavy edges. Leaves are usually oppositely arranged on the branches. Dogwood flowers are not "true" flowers. White petals are actually bracts, modified leaves that surround centrally positioned miniature yellowish-green flower heads. Each flower head consists of 20 to 30 individual flowers.
