Pair the Constellation® White Dogwood with larger trees for a dramatic effect, or add several to create dazzling accents in smaller yards.
No matter where you plant your dogwood, it will serve as a showcase piece in your yard, drawing both attention and admiration. Don’t delay in ordering your Constellation® White Dogwood!
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a planting site for your Dogwood with well-drained soil and full to partial sun (4 to 6 hours of sunlight with some afternoon shade).
Dig a planting hole for your dogwood that is two times the width of your tree’s root ball and just as deep. Place your tree in the planting hole, keeping the top of the root ball even with the ground. Backfill your soil, water to settle the roots, and tamp down the surrounding soil.
Finally, mulch around the base of the tree to conserve soil moisture.
2. Watering: Water your tree weekly or check the surrounding soil for dryness. If your soil is dry about 3 or 4 inches down, water the area.
3. Fertilizing: Dogwood trees do not require feeding, but if you use fertilizer, feed in April or May with any general-purpose fertilizer.
4. Pruning: Generally, you should prune Dogwood Trees during dormancy, in the fall and winter seasons. When you prune, simply ensure you make your cuts at a 45-degree angle and use clean, sterilized pruning shears. Remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches, and ensure sunlight penetrates the canopy of your tree after pruning.
