pagoda dogwood I think, Cornus alternifolia native to manitoba. Related to the more common redosier dogwood, and also bunchberry dogwood (both in the cornus genus even though bunchberry is 6” tall). this one is weird because the leaves look like bunchberry, the fruit grows like virginia creeper, and it’s 10-15 ft tall shrub #pagodadogwood

Pagoda Dogwood is a native tree closely related to Redosier Dogwood (Cornus sericea) and Bunchberry (Cornus canadensis), with similar leaf shapes to the low laying Bunchberry plant despite being a tree that grows 15-25 feet tall. It has an attractive and distinctive tiered branching structure, giving it a pagoda-like appearance. Its broad, alternately arranged dark green leaves turn reddish-purple in the fall. In late spring, clusters of small, white, fragrant flowers bloom, followed by blue-black berries on red stalks in late summer, which attract birds and wildlife.
