Good question- I've seen some tall, lanky Dogwoods in the forest of the Piedmont region, but I'm not sure exactly how tall they can get. Are they included on any current ENTS lists? Eli

I'd like to find out about any tall or large forest-grown Cornus florida that may exist. I'm wondering how tall the species can get under the right conditions.

The first limb alone is thicker than most other dogwood trunks. It grows next to a church parking lot in midtown Atlanta- fully open grown. Dimensions: CBH: 6.2' Height: 30' Spread: 40' The height and spread are measurements from Trees Atlanta and likely will be updated as part of my endeavor to update the Atlanta Champion Tree List. I have serious doubts that this tree is 30' tall, but it's still quite impressive. ~Eli --- On Sat, 7/4/09, Edward Frank <[email protected]> wrote: From: Edward Frank <[email protected]> Subject: [ENTS] Re: Large Urban Trees in Atlanta To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, July 4, 2009, 10:24 PM Eli, When you visit the dogwood (Cornus florida ?) I would be interested in seeing the measurements and photos of the tree. I have not seen one that big.
