                                While many dogwood species are grown for their ornamental value, some, like the Kousa and Cornelian cherry dogwood, produce nutrient-rich, edible fruit that is enjoyed by humans. The nutritional value of dogwood berries varies significantly by species, and it is critically important to distinguish edible varieties from inedible or mildly toxic ones before foraging.
