Question: What is the state tree of Virginia?

Answer: American Dogwood.

“The American Dogwood (Cornus florida) was designated the official state emblem of Virginia in 1918. Virginia lawmakers selected the American Dogwood because of its connection to the history and traditions of the Commonwealth. Thomas Jefferson grew American Dogwood on the grounds at Monticello,” according to Smithsonian Gardens.
