White Flowering Dogwood
The fruit is a bright scarlet, relished by birds, squirrels, and other animals, which often eat the fruit before it colors and matures, usually between September and November.
The White Flowering Dogwood, Cornus Florida, is the "aristocrat" of flowering trees because it is breathtakingly beautiful with its white blossoms.
The White Flowering Dogwood has an excellent show of white blossoms in spring, and bright red berries in fall and winter.
The wood is hard, heavy, strong, very close-grained, and brown to red in color.

Corn earworms are ugly caterpillars that start chewing on corn stalks as soon as they pop out of the ground. You can minimize the damage these bugs wreak by sprinkling ground lime on corn ears once the silk appears.
