Cornus alternifolia can get to 20 or even 30feet. =20
They are understory and edge shrubs of hardwood forest. Called pagoda =
dogwood. They have successive layers of branches.

It could be Cornus sericea (red osier) but this is a more compact shrub =
and as someone mentioned, it would have opposite leaves.

These are the most common native dogwoods
