Default What kind of tree is this? - Cornus florida

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.
