Notes: *Recommended by Purdue University Indiana Climate Change Impacts Assessment as a good species to plant in the face of climate change. Beautiful flowering ornamental tree.

It is sensitive to adverse soil and environmental conditions such as road salt and pollution. Pagoda dogwood is a good alternate.
