This plant goes by many names, including Virginia or Florida Dogwood, White Cornel, Arrowwood, American Boxwood, False Box, St. Peter’s Crown, and Corona de San Pedro. A small, deciduous, perennial tree, it typically grows 15 to 30 feet tall with a low-branching, flat-topped habit. White flowers bloom from spring to fall, while bright red fruits mature in late summer to early fall and may persist until late in the year. It is resistant to browsing by deer, and grows in partial to full shade, and in dry to moist, well-drained soils.
