Bleach Dogwood

Bleach dogwood is a junk item

Characteristics
Bleach dogwood is a type of mutated flowering dogwood tree once common to West Virginia. Their white flowers were used to gauge romantic interest during the Victorian era, their roots could be used to attract muskrats into traps and their bare branches could be used as toothbrushes. The mutated version continues to be useful in the wasteland as a component used to craft water filters.

Bleach dogwood trees continue to thrive in the Toxic Valley region of Appalachia. Unlike other flora in the area, they have been able to weather the pollution in the area created by the sabotaged Grafton Steel mill. However, they require periodic fertilization using the aerosolizers placed in the derelict farms across the Valley.

Blast zone
When affected by a blast zone, bleach dogwood turns into Gamma Dogwood, which yields raw yellowcake flux when harvested.
