dogwood is colored gently.
dogwood, which is relatively common among the street trees in Ginza, is impressive for spring flowers, but it is also preferable to turn red as autumn deepens. It doesn't have a vivid color like maple, but on the contrary, humble and gentle colors may suit the urban landscape.
The standard Japanese name of "dogwood" is "American Yamaboshi". The place of origin is North America. The English name has an interesting name called "Dogwood". An episode that came to Japan in 1912 in return of Sakura, which was given to Washington D.C. from Japan.
By the way, the flower language of "dogwood" seems to be several such as "permanence", "return" and "tolerance of adversity". Even if it is not flashy, does the appearance of living firmly with flowers and fruits create such an image?
The reason why this tree is often chosen as a street tree is that there are reasons such as "the pruning frequency may be low", "the tree height is not so large", and "flowering gives a sense of season". dogwood, which is completely familiar with the scenery of Tokyo, is quietly spreading its branches in the autumn air.
