Cornus Florida Rubra Pink Flowering Dogwood Tree

This image shows a horticultural product tag, specifically for a Cornus florida 'Rubra', commonly known as the Pink Flowering Dogwood. The tag is a 'Plant Passport', which is a standardized document required for the movement of plants within the European Union to ensure traceability and plant health standards.

The tag features the country code 'IT', indicating that this specific specimen was grown and processed in Italy. Horticultural products like these are often distributed through a network of European nurseries and garden centers. While the species is native to North America, commercial cultivation for the European market is heavily concentrated in regions like Tuscany, Italy, known for its extensive nursery industry. The ultimate ownership of such products typically lies with the individual nursery or agricultural collective that registered the plant passport with local authorities.
