The Athens Flowering Dogwood Tree

This tree is a Flowering Dogwood, located directly beside Prince Avenue at Athens Regional Medical Center. It measures 24" at its base and it is in perfect condition. Next to the tree is a plaque confirming it was planting in 1951 by Charles L. Pope and donated by the Sunset Garden Club, making the tree over 57 years old at the time of this writing. The majority of the residents in the area know this tree as one of the largest Dogwood Trees in the state of Georgia.
