Dogwood Bloomwatch Update 3/19/2018



 Davey Dogwood Park is opening up!  

As of Monday, March 3rd, the dogwoods are in the early to mid stages of opening, just in time for the first weekend of the Dogwood Trails Celebration!




The blossoms are mixed in with leafing foliage due to the unusually winter season that went from cold to warm and back to cold in January and February.
Early coloring of the native dogwoods in bloom feature an off-white or almost yellow-ish bloom, which as it matures, will turn bright white.  Blossoms will average between 3" and 4" when fully developed.
