What Iâd like to do with this column is elaborate a bit more on what a narrative hook is, how you can create great opening sentences, and how that hook relates to the rest of your story or novel. Wait, thatâs a terrible narrative hook.
Of the 17 species of dogwood native to North America, the four most common garden types are native flowering dogwoods, Pacific dogwood, Cornelian cherry dogwood and kousa dogwoods.n the winter, the tree has an attractive silhouette with small buds at the tips of the branches. Flowering dogwoods grow to between 12 and 20 feet tall with a trunk diameter of 6 to 12 inches. They thrive in sun or shade. Those in full sun are shorter with better leaf color, especially in the fall.
Another type of dogwood is a Chinese, or Kousa Dogwood. They bloom later in the spring and into early summer. Kousa Dogwoods also have a long bloom period. Our neighbors Kousa Dogwood had blooms into early July this summer. Kousa Dogwoods do not have the typical small oval shaped fruit that Flowering Dogwoods have.They have raspberry colored, shaped, and sized fruit.epending on your climate zone, type of dogwood, and weather conditions at bloom time are three of them. The most common type of Dogwood is the Flowering Dogwood. It usually blooms from late March to mid May. Where the tree is planted is another thing to consider.
