There are clusters of bright red football shaped fruits, about a half inch long, following the Dogwood flowers and often remain until winter. Flowering occurs in late April and early May. American Dogwoods are the hard decidous flowering plants growing to 15 to 20 feet tall. American Dogwoods have oppositely arranged, oval shaped leaves which are 3-6 inches long and 2-3 inches wide
