Since it’s good for USDA growing zones 5-9, it has the ability to grow in just about any climate providing it gets the proper full to partial sun exposure required. It grows into a pyramidal shape with oval, bright green leaves that give way to beautiful fall colors of a rich red-brown. Birds love the small, bright red fruits that mature in late summer to early fall and have the ability to last until late in the year. During the blooming season, look for the dainty, red or pink flowers that are described as hermaphroditic, meaning “perfect flowers.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e With proper time \u0026amp; care, Dogwood trees can be planted at any time of the year. If your area is experiencing extreme heat, place your potted tree in a well shaded area, such as a garage, or plant it in a well shaded area of your lawn. Once mature, your tree will be better able to manage with temperatures of this kind. Typically, though, trees do not experience much growth during times of extreme temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose a planting site for your Dogwood that receives light or filtered shade. Dogwood trees are highly adaptable to many soil types. However, they thrive best in moist, fertile soils high in organic matter. The soil of your planting site should be well drained, with a 5.5 pH level.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1) Dig a planting hole for your dogwood that is two times the diameter of your tree’s root ball and comprised of equal depth.\u003cbr\u003e2) Remove your Dogwood from its container and ensure root moisture.\u003cbr\u003e3) Place your tree in the planting hole, keeping the top of the root ball even with the ground.\u003cbr\u003e4) Adjust your tree’s position and angle, then use the original soil to fill the planting hole.\u003cbr\u003e5) Spread the roots out evenly and surround them with soil, tamping down lightly as you fill to avoid air pockets, which can dry out the roots of your tree.\u003cbr\u003e6) Avoid firming the soil at this point, and instead water the area immediately to settle the soil.\u003cbr\u003e7) Mulch around the base of the tree to conserve soil moisture. This will also keep competing growth (grass and weeds) from growing around the planting site.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dogwood trees possess very shallow root systems that are susceptible to drying out in the absence of regular rainfall. It is 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 signify both over watering and under watering. Watch for these and any other signs that your tree is getting too much or too little water.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dogwood trees do not require much fertilization. If you choose to fertilize your tree, do so sparingly in April or May. Any general purpose fertilizer is suitable for this.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeed Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Do not permit weeds or grasses any closer than 2-3 feet from your Dogwood in the first year. Pull the weeds initially, and then utilize a growing mat or mulch. Insulate the roots 2-4 inches and replenish as needed. Do not spray Round Up on a young Dogwood, and ensure that wind doesn’t blow chemical drift onto your tree.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePests \u0026amp; Disease:\u003c\/strong\u003e The best defense against any pest or disease issue is a healthy tree. Good soil, proper feeding \u0026amp; healthy watering habits are vital to the prosperity of your tree.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeer:\u003c\/strong\u003e If you believe that deer may become an issue for your Dogwood, consider caging the tree(s). Although there is a whole host of deer deterrents available, nothing will guarantee protection like caging will.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinter Dormancy:\u003c\/strong\u003e During late fall and winter, your Dogwood will enter its dormant state. When this occurs, your tree’s leaves will fall off and the stem will turn brown. Above ground, nothing will take place during this time, but the roots of your tree will continue to grow beneath the surface. This winter root development will accelerate the growth of your tree come spring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"1-2 ft.","offer_id":13940769783860,"sku":"11859","price":67.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":13940769816628,"sku":"10359","price":93.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3-4 ft.","offer_id":13940769849396,"sku":"10360","price":120.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5 ft.","offer_id":13940769980468,"sku":"10201","price":153.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-6 ft.","offer_id":13940770046004,"sku":"10202","price":196.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-7 ft.","offer_id":31255608852542,"sku":"10361","price":313.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/8835\/2052\/products\/Red_Dogwood_1_FGT_600x600_3ed0891e-6f64-4b35-9263-51af73e93a99.jpg?v=1762197985"},{"product_id":"redtwigdogwood","title":"Red Twig Dogwood Shrub","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSet Your Winter Landscape Ablaze in Fire-Red Color\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Red Twig Dogwood Shrub?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a shrub that sparks conversation...with fantastic winter color, weather adaptability, and drought tolerance, the Red Twig Dogwood is truly one-of-a-kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn spring, you get attractive white flowers.

Your grapes will love a sunny place with well-draining soil. The vine will be quite satisfied with six to eight hours of sunlight. Good drainage is required to keep your plant “happy” and a soil pH between 5.0-7.0 is best. Avoid areas with soil that may be heavy with clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlanting Instructions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e1) Be sure to keep your grape vines moist right up to planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e2) Dig a small hole about 6 inches wide and 4-6 inches deep. The width of the hole should allow you to spread the roots. If you are planting multiple grape vines dig your holes 6-8 feet apart. In a situation where you have a lot of clay in the soil break up the glazed areas using a shovel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e3) Stand the plant up and carefully pack the soil back into the hole around the vine. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4) Water the vine immediately after planting with 3 gallons of water\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e5) Grapes are essentially a vine that grow upwards along a structure so they will need a \"trellis\" for proper support and healthy growth.

Directly moisten the roots but avoid spraying or misting the grapes. After the vines are a bit more established they will seldom need watering and mulch will no longer be necessary. Be watchful for leaf drop, this is a warning sign that you may be over watering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePollination:\u003c\/b\u003e Most species of grape are self-fertile but a good rule of \"green thumb\" is to always plant in pairs. Not only will this assure you a healthy yield of fruit but it will also cover the possibility that the grapes need another separate vine to kick start the fruiting process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePruning: \u003c\/b\u003eBalanced pruning maintains the vine's form, size, vigor, and next season's fruiting wood. Pruning should be done when the vines are dormant in late winter or early spring. Do not prune when vines freeze, because they are brittle and can damage easily. Leaves around the grape clusters can be removed to expose the fruit to sunlight in a short growing season. In your first growing season multiple shoots will begin to grow and the vine may become bushy. Some trim these back to just one or two shoots. Others prefer to let them grow so they may have a better selection to choose from during the following winter's pruning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eDuring your first dormant pruning you'll select one or two of the best canes and remove all the others. You'll need to remove all lateral canes as well. Your goal is to achieve a balanced vine of just the right amount of leaves to fully ripen the grapes. Too much shade from vigorous leaf growth produces fewer grapes and less desirable grape qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFertilizing: \u003c\/b\u003eYoung vines may not need any fertilizer for the first two to three years. If fertilizing is necessary, apply a small amount of 10-10-10 fertilizer two to three weeks after planting, keeping it one foot away from the vine's base.

Try to avoid areas where water has a tendency to pool. They aren’t too picky regarding their soil but do perform best in a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Directions (in ground):\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1) After you have found an ideal location, make your hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Be sure you’re at least 12 feet from any structures.\u003cbr\u003e2) Arrange your tree in the hole at the same depth as it was in the shipping container\/pot and begin to pack the soil around the roots until the soil is a little higher than level. The soil will settle after you’ve planted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*TIP*\u003c\/strong\u003e You can amend some loam into the native soil for back filling for better results.\u003cbr\u003e3) Water the planting site generously so the soil can fully settle and then spread a 2 inch layer of mulch around to preserve moisture as well as combat competing weeds that may try to grow nearby.\u003cbr\u003e4) You may want to utilize stakes for proper support as the tree is acclimating and getting settled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting directions (potted):\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1) Water the tree’s root ball thoroughly before transplanting. This should help reduce the risk of shock.\u003cbr\u003e2) Select a container that is three times the size of the root ball so it can be left undisturbed, will not require immediate re-potting and with plenty of space for several years of growth.\u003cbr\u003e3) Line the bottom of the pot with a couple inches of gravel to ensure there will always be proper drainage and then cover with a good layer of potting soil.\u003cbr\u003e4) Comb your hands along the edge of the root ball to gently free up the roots.\u003cbr\u003e5) Center the tree into the pot, spread the roots out a bit and then fill in the remaining room with your potting mix. Tamp firmly but take care not to compact the soil or the root growth and water flow will be restricted.\u003cbr\u003e6) Water generously and place the tree in a nice full sun spot where it will remain undisturbed for the growing season. Potted persimmons will need at least 8 hours of full sun exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Newly planted trees will require deep watering. Persimmon trees have a taproot that can be difficult to water properly. The best thing to do is leave your garden hose on a slow trickle, and place it next to the base of the tree. Leave it there for a good thirty minutes so the water has a chance to properly penetrate the soil and get down to the taproot. Be sure to do this at least once a month and possibly twice in the hotter seasons. Persimmons are known for their drought tolerance, but young trees need to be watered well in their youth to help the slow developing taproot. Once they have developed for a few years, your natural rainfall should be sufficient in providing the tree water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the potted fuyu persimmon, you will need to closely monitor the tree to get an idea for just how often you will need to water. You may need to water nearly every day in the warmer season. Lifting its container can be useful. If it’s heavy then chances are that the soil still has a fair amount of moisture to it. If it’s light, give it a drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hold off on pruning your American Persimmon tree for the first couple of years. In the winter season prune the tree into a modified central leader system. Six to eight spaced scaffold branches around the trunk should help support the future fruit. Always keep an open eye for suckers that may form at the base, and be sure to remove them as soon as they’re noticed. These guys can steal nutrients from the primary trunk (or leader) and stunt the growth. Once the trees have matured a bit, they will rarely ever require pruning except for removal of damaged or dead branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e As long as your American Persimmon has new growth measuring at least a foot, then there should be no need to fertilize the tree. If you do find the need to fertilize, try to avoid overdoing it on nitrogen. If the build up has gone too far then it will cause early fruit drop. The recommended approach is to fertilize in the late winter using about 5 to 10 pounds of compost to keep the tree growing well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Persimmons are typically ready for harvesting around September to December. The Asian breeds tend to cling tightly to the branches so you may need to use clippers to remove them. The American Persimmon is a breed that will typically just drop the fruit when it has become fully ripened. If you are having a lot of animals eating your persimmons just before they have a chance to fully ripen there is a great trick to utilize. Put the fruit in a plastic bag with a few bananas for about a week to ten days and place them in a warm room. Bananas throw off a gas called ethylene and will assist in the ripening of the persimmons.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"1-2 ft.","offer_id":39932143271998,"sku":"11012","price":65.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2-3 ft.","offer_id":13940827062324,"sku":"11013","price":78.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3-4 ft.","offer_id":13940827095092,"sku":"11014","price":155.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4-5 ft.","offer_id":13940827127860,"sku":"11015","price":112.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5-6 ft.","offer_id":13940827160628,"sku":"11016","price":198.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6-7 ft.","offer_id":32303502098494,"sku":"11017","price":213.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3-4 ft.

The purple pink flowers of the eastern redbud appear all over the tree in early spring and are even produced on the larger trunks. They do well in locations with full sun to partial shade (afternoon shade is best). A soil pH of about 7.5 is recommended as well as well draining soil. Avoid planting in areas that are prone to flooding or that collect standing water. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlanting Directions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e1) Select a site 6 to 8 feet from existing structures and about 3 feet from fences.

When trees are newly planted their watering requirements are high but take care, root growth is slow in soil that is too wet or too dry. During the first year make sure to water your tree often enough to keep its soil moist yet not soaked. Pay close attention to your tree during the dry season, so that you can ensure that it receives enough water. Water later in the evening after the heat of the day has subsided. This way, the water will not evaporate immediately and the roots have a good chance at absorbing the moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePruning\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e To shape future growth, pruning redbud trees while they’re young is a must. Another reason to prune is to strengthen the connections of the main leaders to the trunk. Pruning helps form U-shaped junctions so the primary limbs can support leaves and flowers. Prune the tree in early summer after the tree is done blooming. Begin by removing any larger lower branches and branches that cross over each other or rub together. Cut off the branches close to the trunk without leaving any stubs. Stubs allow an entrance for disease and pests to enter. If several branches need to be removed, do it over a course of months so that the tree doesn't go into shock of losing so much of its growth. In late winter, prune any dead and diseased wood. Cut out any tiny twigs and branches that have turned brown. Also, cut off any shoots that are coming up from the bottom or out of the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e*\u003cb\u003eTip:\u003c\/b\u003e Sterilize your pruning tools with a basic household rubbing alcohol to ensure a healthy cut during pruning.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFertilizing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003eIn early spring you can apply some compost and\/or a complete fertilizer such as 5-10-5 in *granular form.

Pruning should be done when the vines are dormant in late winter or early spring. Do not prune when vines could freeze, because the new growth can be brittle and can damage easily. Foliage around the grape clusters can be removed to expose the fruit to sunlight in a short growing season. During your first growing season multiple shoots will begin to grow and the vine may become bushy. Some trim their plants back to just one or two shoots. Others prefer to let them grow so they may have a better selection to choose from during the following winter’s pruning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taste is the best determining factor if it’s time to harvest or not.

A native plant in the North American ecosystem, Aronia bushes have adapted to growing zones 3 to 8. It is a perennial, deciduous, self pollinating, self-supporting shrub. Aronia berries (also referred to as “chokeberries”) are bitter in flavor until fully ripened. The pea sized berries are harvested in late August to September and bushes are known to produce about 15-20 lbs of berries at maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing a location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aronia bushes do best in full sun but will also tolerate partially shaded areas.

Aronia bushes need at least an inch of rain per week so be sure to water well twice a week to simulate the rainfall. You may need to water a bit more during extended dry periods or during summer heat. More mature plants will not require as much water and will be adaptable to hot and dry conditions. For the first couple of years, the soil needs to be kept moist so mulching is highly recommended to conserve water and prevent competing weeds from growing. Leaf spot can occur on aronia bushes but is easily avoided by watering at the base of the bush instead of a “rain down” fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late in its dormant season, prune some of the older branches of your bush down to the ground to promote a new growth and a bushier form.

They tend to be a lot sweeter if left on the bush after the first initial frost of the season. If there is any hint of red to the color of the berries then they are not ready to be harvested. The picking of the ripened berries is very easy. Simply grab a cluster of the berries and drag your hands down (tying a bucket to your waist is handy to keep both hands free for mass harvesting).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There are multiple benefits to adding an aronia plant to your property. It is a very ornamental and resilient plant. It adapts to the surrounding natural ecosystem, able to withstand invasions from insects and diseases as well as the natural variations in the climate. Like a persimmon tree, aronia berries will sweeten more after a freeze. Many enjoy the antioxidant rich berries for juicing, baking, and jellies.

Either way, you'll need to make sure your soil is light, well drained and acidic. Sandy loam soil with a high content of organic matter works best. You can add compost and acidic soil to your garden or pot soil for the best results. If you plant in your garden, be sure to leave 5ft. of space between your other plants. Birds love blueberries too, so make sure you use a garden net to get the most out of your harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spartan Blueberries need to be watered once a week. They typically need 1-2 inches of water each week, so if you're experiencing a dry season, you might need to water more than once per week. Don't overwater the bush. The roots are very shallow and can easily drown.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Once you see leaves on your plant, you can add some acidic fertilizer. After that you won't need to fertilize the Spartan Blueberry bush until it begins to produce a harvest. Once your plant is fully mature, you can fertilize it once a year in June and again in the fall if it didn't harvest well.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e You won't need to prune your Spartan Blueberry bush until it begins producing blueberries, which usually occurs in the 3rd season. After that, you'll need to prune away the lowest, non-producing limbs right before the harvest each year.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Spartan Blueberry is self-pollinating, but you will greatly increase your harvest with cross-pollination.

Once you see the huge blueberries turn blue, wait a week and then test to see if they're ready. Simply run your hand across the berries. If they easily fall off without plucking, then they're perfectly ripe. Blueberries will last 1 week in your fridge, but you'll need to freeze them if you don’t eat them in a week. Frozen blueberries are delicious in smoothies and the Spartan Blueberry holds up well to being thawed out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":41973105033278,"sku":"30055","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/8835\/2052\/products\/Spartan_Blueberry_FGT_600x600_f755594f-bcce-4646-b971-04ea01c72e57.jpg?v=1762198238"}],"url":"https:\/\/checkout.fast-growing-trees.com\/collections\/united-states-native-plants.oembed?page=8","provider":"FastGrowingTrees.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
