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.
In some parts of the country, you can even still discover dogwood trees growing in the wild in forest lands. How big do dogwood trees get? Dogwood trees generally grow from about 25 to 30 feet, although the average home garden tree usually winds up on the small side, about 15 to 25 feet tall. One of the reasons homeowners love dogwoods so much is that they donât become so huge that they are hard to maintain or a hazard to power lines or roofs.
