Gray Dogwood, scientifically known as "Cornus racemosa", is a native North American deciduous shrub that grows up to 15 feet tall, known for its clusters of creamy white flowers in late spring and small white berries that appear on bright red stalks in the summer, making it a popular choice for wildlife habitat; it is adaptable to a variety of soil conditions and can thrive in both sun and partial shade, often used for erosion control near streams or as a natural hedge due to its tendency to spread through suckers.
