I suppose it is your lame attempt at humor confusing a species epithet with
the name of a state and you really aren't that stupid.

You obviously don't know the "flowering" dogwoods at all.

Cornus florida is found throughout much of the eastern US, is very cold
hardy and widely grown as a hardy tree with several named cultivars with
showy bracts in white, pink or red. There are even named hybrids available
between it and Cornus nuttalii and Cornus kousa.

don't be so hard if my husband can mistake a mule for a horse than
anything is possible.
his direct quote was "wow what an ugly horse what the H*** kind is
it?"
so not knowing what a dogwood tree looks like isn't so bad

Don't you recognize a flowering dogwood when you see one,
Dagwood?

I know this group has had zillions of requests to IDENTIFY
THIS PLANT. Please indulge me for another.

What kind of tree is this?

The leaves were dark red, the tree had bright red berries
about 1/2 inch in size, and the tree was about 8-10 feet
tall. Pictures available at
http://www.geocities.com/shoemakerted/tree.html .
These pictures were taken in Roanoke, Virginia, USA, in the
fall (November 2005).

Thank you very much!

Those don't look like the fruit of any dogwood I have ever seen.

I know Dogwood. I have 3 of them in my yard but none of them have fruit
like the OP posted. Since I am *not* in Florida I don't have a Cornus
florida.
