The Dogwood is a perimeter tree producing a breathtaking panorama of beautiful spring flowers accenting forest edges and promoting residential pride. The tree produces red fruit in the summer which are eagerly eaten by wildlife. Leaves turn a beautiful red in the autumn.
TREES Inc. conducts an annual Dogwood project wherein Terre Haute residents within selected areas are offered the opportunity to purhcase healthy high quality Dogwood trees. The trees are purchased by property owners who can elect to have TREES Inc. volunteers plant the trees as a part of the purchase price or have a professional lanscape company plant the trees for an additional fee.
