Observed on April 16th at 2:45 P. M. The temperature during this time was 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The flowering Dogwood stood at 6 1/2 feet tall, where the tree's overall branch span was 11 feet. This was due to the branches reaching out for sunlight, since it is located under taller trees. The blossoms varied in size but on average they were 3 inches in width. The tree was found along a wooded area, in Jetersville VA.
