Planting & Care

An ideal small tree for compact gardens, featuring large creamy bracts around tiny flower clusters in summer.
Its ovate, pointed leaves are green in summer, turning to vibrant amber and crimson in autumn.
Initially vase-shaped, this tree becomes more rounded as it matures.
In autumn, the tree is adorned with unique red, globular berries which are edible but often used decoratively.
Fully hardy, tolerating temperatures as low as -20°C and thriving in exposed locations.
Arrives professionally pruned to encourage a robust, bushy shape.
Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic and is fully recyclable.

Species: Dogwood
Features: Easy to grow, Autumn colour, Deer resistant, Fully hardy, Colourful berries & fruits
Foliage Colour: Green, Orange, Red
Flower Colour: Four-petal white flowers in May and June
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Habit: A nicely shaped, dense and bushy tree.
Hardiness: H6 - A tree that will survive harsh British winters (down to temperatures of -20°C).

Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Soil: Prefers loamy, neutral to acid soil but will grow in any soil as long as it's well-drained. If your soil is heavier, mix in some perlite or horticultural grit during planting, as this will help with drainage.
Spacing: Plant at least 6m apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Water the tree regularly throughout the growing season, particularly during drought spells and in the tree's first few years as it establishes.
Feeding: After planting your tree, add some slow release, general purpose fertiliser and mulch around the tree's base. Feed the tree with slow release fertiliser annually in spring to help the plant maintain its growth and overall health.
Pruning: Pruning group 1 - minimal pruning. Trim out any damaged, diseased or crossing branches in late winter, or early spring, to maintain a healthy framework.
Pest & Disease: This tree is generally unaffected by pests and diseases, however it can be affected by cornus anthracnose. Practicing good plant hygiene and promptly removing dead/dying plant matter can help prevent this.
