Planting & Care

1. Planting: Select a planting site that receives full sunlight (about six hours of sun) or filtered shade. Dogwood Trees are highly adaptable to many soil types, but they thrive in moist, fertile soils high in organic matter.

Dig a hole that is three times the diameter of your tree’s root ball and of equal depth. Place your tree in the planting hole, keeping the top of the root ball even with the ground. Adjust your tree’s position/angle then use the original soil to backfill the planting hole. Water the area immediately to settle the soil.

2. Watering: It’s best to water your tree once or twice a week. Be sure to water correctly – light green leaves are a sign of overwatering, while drooping leaves can signify both underwatering and overwatering. Generally, you’ll want to water until the soil is moist 2 to 3 inches down.

3. Fertilizing: If you choose to fertilize, do so sparingly in April or May. Any general-purpose fertilizer will work.
