Who planted the first dogwood?

The identity of the person who planted the first dogwood tree is not definitively known, as dogwoods are native trees that have been growing in North America for centuries. However, they have significant cultural and historical importance, particularly in American folklore and tradition. The dogwood tree is often associated with various legends, including one that connects it to the Crucifixion of Jesus, but these stories are symbolic rather than historical accounts of its initial planting.
