Dogwood tree named `D-184-11`

Abstract

The outstanding characteristics of the cultivar hereof comprise the white bracted display over a period of time typical of most plants of C. florida, an important distinguishing element of this new hybrid comprising the fruit which are bright red and much larger than the fruit typical for C. florida being nearly tubular or almost uniformly cylindrical in shape, the volume of the fruit being substantially greater than the volume of fruit of other cultivars, the vegetative and floral parts being winter-hardy in the region of New Brunswick, N.J.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of dogwood tree, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the unique combination of its unusually vigorous growth, large floral buds, extremely large, tubular bright red fruit, winter hardiness, and tree size being substantially larger than some other varieties.
