Dogwood Tree With Pink And White Flowers. The center of the individual flowers is a dense cluster of greenish yellow stamens. This is a good specimen tree for a location with acidic soil and afternoon shade.
Like hydrangeas i have an idea. It has remained white for fifteen years but in the last couple of years is taking on more of a pink edge. The white flowering dogwood cornus florida is a common deciduous tree occurring throughout the eastern half of the united states.
Obviously one reason could be grafting one varietal of dogwood onto a different type of dogwood.
I have a white dogwood that i purchased in the hopes it could possibly turn pink like the one i covet a few blocks away. The pink dogwood is notable for the many pastel flowers that it produces each spring for about two to four weeks. This explanation doesn t satisfy me because it seems unlikely that someone would go through all the trouble of grafting one puny branch and leaving 90 of the tree the other color. It is the state tree of virginia and state flower of north carolina.
