U.S. National Arboretum: Gardens: FAQs: Mexican flowering dogwood
A lesser known but important purpose of the National Arboretum is to collect and preserve ornamental plant germplasm. Sometimes, the National Arboretum is one of just a few botanical collections in the world that is growing a particular woody or herbaceous plant species.

Dogwood Collection
One of the emblems of the eastern deciduous forest is the native flowering dogwood, Cornus florida. Today, the long grassy fairway that leads to the fountain at the far end is lined with scores of mature dogwoods that bloom throughout the spring and summer months.

Dogwood Questions and Answers
I have heard that dogwood anthracnose is devastating dogwoods and that none of them are resistant to this disease. If you plant your dogwood in a location that gets morning sun and good air circulation, it is much less likely to succumb to this disease.

State Trees
Sugar maples are among the best known trees in the eastern United States because of their handsome appearance and distinctive leaf shape. It is sometimes desired as a Christmas tree, but the sharp needles and stiff branches make it harder to work with than many other conifers.

State Tree and Flower
Each of the 50 states and several United States territories have designated an official tree and flower. Many of the state flowers are actually trees as well -- some states have chosen the same species as state tree and as state flower.
