What do dogwood trees look like in summer?

Foliage: Like other deciduous trees and shrubs, the leaves of a dogwood are green during summer and change to an attractive reddish-purple during the fall, before dropping to the ground.

Where do dogwood trees grow the best?

In general, dogwoods grow best in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 8. Some, such as the redtwig dogwood (Cornus alba) and the pagoda dogwood (Cornus alternifolia), are hardy to USDA zone 2, although the latter is only heat-hardy to USDA zone 7.
