Interpretive Summary: Indigenous to the eastern United States, flowering dogwood (Cornus florida L.) is commonly found in forests and urban landscapes. Native dogwood populations are important not only for their ornamental attributes, but also as a food source for wildlife. Over the past two decades, dogwood trees have been severely affected by dogwood anthracnose caused by Discula destructiva Redlin (Redlin, 1991), resulting in a mortality range from 48-98% in the northeast US and Appalachian highlands.
