River Blossoms

The dogwood tree grows wild along the shady banks of the Rogue River. They prefer the canopy of evergreen trees so they can tolerate the hot summer temperatures. The native dogwoods grow as tall as fifty feet and in the spring they blossom in a brilliant bloom of white. At times they appear to have a light green blossom, but it is the reflection of the foliage around them. Take a drive or drift along the Rogue in the spring and you will be rewarded with the dogwood blossoms along the river.
