Dear Julia, I am so glad this article was inspirational. I, personally, inherited a mature dogwood and have planted two more on my property. Such a wonderful native tree!

Sincerely,

What a shock on Friday morning, tempered with gratitude that it landed away from our house and short of the street! Our c.florida was approaching the end of its very long run, but was in bountiful full bloom. It was already fully grown when we first came to our home 37 years ago and we worried when there were stories that all Dogwoods were doomed at least 20 years ago. Both of ours make it through that challenge. Your article has helped us answer the question of what should replace our tree: another c.florida!
