Southeastern, New Hampshire

There are only three Dogwoods trees in New Hampshire with blue fruit. Round-Leaf Dogwood (Cornus rugosa)
has white pith (notice the brown pith on the pictures), leaves with 6-8 veins per side and the stems are not
red. Cornus obliqua has brown pith, but only 3-5 veins per side of leaf, the backs of the leaves have
white bumps and the leaves are 2.2 to 4 times longer than wide. Cornus amomum has brown pith, 4-6 veins
per side of leaf and the leaves are 1.5 to 2.2 times longer than wide.
