Flowering dogwood trees are exceptionally eye-catching, especially in bloom.
In May and June, the tree is covered in small flower clusters, each surrounded by four large white bracts, creating the effect of a light snowfall.
The foliage provides further interest, turning to vibrant shades of crimson and red in autumn before falling.
Also known as the Szechuan strawberry, it produces unique pinkish-red, edible fruits in autumn, often used for decoration.
Ideal for adding structure to a garden bed or as a standout feature on your lawn.
Our trees are professionally pruned before shipping to encourage a strong, bushy shape.
Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic and is fully recyclable.

Species: Dogwood
Features: Autumn colour, Deer resistant, Fully hardy, Colourful berries & fruits
Foliage Colour: Green
Flowering Time: May, June
Flower Colour: Tiny flowers are surrounded by four white bracts
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Habit: An attractive bushy tree which spreads more with age.
Eventual Spread: Spreads approximately 4-5m.
Hardiness: H6 - This tree is frost hardy down to temperatures of roughly -20°C.
Pest & Disease Resistance: This tree is typically unaffected by pests and diseases, however there are still a few problems that have been known to impact dogwood trees, including scale insects, anthracnose and honey fungus.

Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Spacing: Plant 5m apart to allow for spreading.
Soil Type: Dogwood trees grow best in slightly acidic soil. You can easily test your soil's pH by using a kit purchased online; if your soil is alkaline (above a pH of 7) then you can add some sulphur to your soil to acidify it. Enriching your soil with some organic matter can also help with keeping the soil nice and moist.
Watering: Water your tree regularly throughout the growing season, particularly during dry spells and in the tree's first few years as it properly establishes.
Feeding: After you've planted your tree, add some slow-release, general purpose fertiliser and mulch around the tree's base to ensure all the water and nutrients get to the root system. Over time, replace the mulch, and feed the tree with slow-release fertiliser every spring to help the tree maintain its growth and overall health.
Pruning: Trim out any damaged, diseased or crossing branches in late winter or early spring to maintain a healthy framework.
