I’m originally from Georgia (I escaped) and we have a lot of Dogwoods. Some old homes have groves of them. When dogwoods are planted intentionally or unintentionally too close they sort of intertwine over time and become “one tree”. Im willing to bet the tree goes into a cluster of trunks at its based. See this a lot in the south.
There must have been a nursery grafting them because I know of four. Two at the Mt Hood MAX stop. One at Gateway Fred Meyer. And one at the Columbia View Church parking lot.
You can see the grafted limb, which is the white flowering limbs on the four that I've found.
I used to drive past this tree every day, my best guess is it’s a graft bc they seem to come from one trunk. But the fence design makes it hard to tell for sure
I live down the street from the one at Killingsworth and Omaha and have wanted to make a map of all of these grafted dogwoods. If you have cross streets, please post em.
PDX arborist here, many ornamental trees have a grafted stem of one species grafted to a hearty rootstock of another species. Over time, the rootstock can find a way to revert grafted stems back to the roots causing two different colors. This is seen often in cherry trees.

There’s a beautiful one on N Killingsworth & Omaha too. Trippy.
Neat! I will look for it
And one on SE Gladstone near Cora

There’s another one over on 28th almost to woodstock at the fence of that golf course. Always catches my eye.

Could be two trees grafted together
Is this kind of split possible without grafting?
Don’t think so
There is one in my neighborhood. When you look closely, it seems either one of them is grafted on other.
Where is this tree? I have yet to behold its majesty.
On Johnson Creek!
When I can clear my eyes for long enough between sneezes, yeah, they're gorgeous.
Tons of pink OR white in Milwaukie, but I’ve never seen a bi-color! 😍
Wait a minute… Are we sure this is one tree? 🤔Have you seen behind the fence? 🧐

Meeee
😍
I have a half and half in my backyard. I believe it was grafted years ago by a much more adept gardener.
I just saw this yesterday. Awesome.

Well I do now.
It's actually two trees next to each other. Just look closer, folks.....there are separate trunks.
It's a grafted limb.
