Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Dogwood trees grow in every continent except Antarctica. Their four-petaled flowers come in white, pink, and red. The dogwood flower is the state flower of North Carolina. Small fruit grow on the trees and, depending on the species, are either edible or toxic to humans.

Although a Christian legend speaks of Jesus's cross being made of dogwood, there is no mention of it in the Bible. The story continues by saying that after Jesus was resurrected, he changed the dogwood trees, making them smaller and twisted so they could not be used to build any more crosses. The tree's flowers, which bloom around Easter, are said to represent the cross, with the dark marks on the end of the petals being the nails and the spiky stamens being the Crown of Thorns.
