May 24, 2019 – Dogwood

Just this past week, seven Flowering Dogwood trees, Cornus florida, were planted along the Railroad Right of Way on the Medford Campus. These trees will mature over the years to give us blooms in the spring for years to come.

The Dogwood with its graceful branches, delicate blossoms and crimson fall foliage is considered by many to be the queen of the North American forests. It does particularly well as an understory tree.
