The
actual Dogwood blossom that produce dogwood seeds are a crown
of greenish-yellow florets in the center of the bracts. Just
like some flowers, the Dogwood blossom may need bees and other
insects for pollination. Dogwood blossom bract color can range
from white to pink to an almost red color.
The Dogwood blossom is one of the main reasons landscapers
and the general public incorporate the Dogwood tree in their
landscapes. In the northeastern U.S. the dogwood blossom appear
on a shorter tree while in the south the Dogwood blossom can
appear on a Dogwood tree 40 feet tall. People living in the
south will start to see blooms in March while those in the
north see the Dogwood blossom in June.
