 Trees of Wisconsin: Cornus alternifolia, alternate-leaved dogwood
The woody species in the genus Cornus can be recognized by the simple, opposite, unlobed, entire leaves and the "arcuate" venation in which the veins curve toward the tip of the leaf as they branch outward from the midrib of each leaf, becoming nearly parallel to the margin as they near it.
Cornus alternifolia is the only species of Cornus in Wisconsin that has alternate leaves and it is also the only naturally occurring species of Cornus that has the growth form of a tree--all the others (4) being clearly shrubs.
Cornus alternifolia ranges from Nova Scotia through southern Ontario to Minnesota, south to Missouri and Pennsylvania and in the Appalachian mountains to northern Georgia.

 Cornus officinalis Corni Fructus by Ray Sahelian, M.D. Shan Zhu Yu:
In normal rats, the decrease in plasma glucose and increase in plasma insulin concentrations were dependent on the dose of cornus and were similar to those produced by Die-Huang-Wan.
Moreover, the increase in plasma insulin or reduction in plasma glucose resulting from cornus treatment was blocked by atropine or 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide mustard, indicating mediation of muscarinic M(3) receptors similar to that caused by Die-Huang-Wan.
Cornus mas, Cornus officinalis, Cornus controversa, and Cornus kousa (Cornaceae) bear edible fruits that are consumed in parts of Europe and Asia.

Seven D. cornus were observed to spawn between 4 and 115 capsules over a period of 1-2 weeks.
In the laboratory the distinctively shaped capsules, which averaged 2.8 x 3.2 x 1.8 mm in size, were firmly attached to the aquarium walls.
No larvae have been successfully reared through to metamorphosis and settlement in the laboratory; however, the size of the protoconch of juvenile D. cornus suggests that the veligers may spend extended periods in the plankton.

 Cornus kousa
Kousa Dogwood is somewhat sensitive to being transplanted in Autumn, and care should be taken to amend the soil, fertilize, water thoroughly, mulch adequately, and avoid Winter salt spray, to enhance survival chances during the first Winter (this advisory is less critical for those shrubs transplanted from containers, rather than root-pruned ball and burlap specimens)
Kousa Dogwood is an alternative to Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida), with a later and longer bloom period, virtually no disease or pest problems, and alkaline soil tolerance.
Cornus kousa is a multi-season small tree, noted for its early Summer long-lasting flowers, Autumn fruits, good Summer foliage and occasional fall color, Winter bark, layered branching, and vased growth habit.

The flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) is the most familiar; it's an extremely graceful tree with horizontal branches that tilt upward at the ends.
Although cornelian cherry (Cornus mas) and common dogwood (C. sanguinea) have been grown in Europe since ancient times, it is only since the age of exploration in the 18th and 19th centuries that dogwoods from the New World and Asia have ascended to the high thrones of gardens, where their aristocracy remains unchallenged today.
Given the huge popularity of dogwoods as garden plants, not to mention the hundreds of choice selections and hybrids that have come to prominence in recent decades, it is surprising that there has never been a horticultural book on the genus.
