Pacific Dogwood (Cornus nuttallii)

Ever wonder why some trees have flowers and others don't? In this video, part of the Tree Talks with Theo Hoss series created by naturalist Theodore Hoss, we delve into the wonders of the Pacific Dogwood, a small understory tree species native to western North America which has a lovely spring floral display! In addition to identification tips and fun facts about Pacific Dogwoods, we will dive into a bit of the biology of tree reproduction, and discover how flowers can allow a tree to pollinate others of its kind much more successfully!
