This shrub is also known as Pagoda Dogwood and grows from 10-25 feet tall. It likes rich, loamy soil and grows well in dappled light or part-sun.
If you find a shrub with deep veins and a smooth edge, there’s a chance it is a dogwood. Most dogwoods have leaves that are opposite each other on the branch, with the exception of alternate-leaved dogwood (photos coming soon! Check out Michigan Flora’s photos in the mean time).
In my opinion, this is one of Michigan’s most beautiful shrubs because of the way the leaves lay and layer, because of the profusion of blooms, and because of the dark blue berries (actually drupes—a thin fruit with large seed in the center).
The sweet-scented flowers provide nectar for many bees, flies and wasps. There are also a lot of insects that feed on the leaves and bark. Birds (and Bears!) eat the berries.
