Similar blossoms to Dogwood Tree
 

This past month I discovered two trees at a assisted-living apartment and
asked around and could not find the name of this one tree. I will describe
it.

The flowers were so similar to Dogwood, but they had pointed edges instead
of the rounded ones. The tree was absolutely full of blossoms. The top of
the trees had hardly any blossoms on them, as if it might be allergic to the
sun, for better explanation. The blossoms were whitish/green (basically
white and with ever so lightly tinted with green).

Someone said that the tree blooms all summer, but I don't know if this is
true.
Thanks so much.

Yes, indeed, it is either a Japanese Dogwood (or a Chinese Dogwood) as I saw
both pictures online. I saw these trees in CT.

Thank you, but I'm pretty sure it's the Japanese/Chinese Dogwood.
