Popular for their beautiful blossoms and distinctive scale-like bark, Dogwood Trees stand out in any landscape. Their blooms are one of the first signs of spring, arriving sooner than many other flowering trees. Attaining a manageable size of about 25 feet at maturity, makes the Dogwood an excellent choice for increasing property value even in small yards.
More InformationDogwood tree bloom time varies depending on your climate, the weather in a particular year, and the type of Dogwood. Cornus florida (native dogwood) blooms in early spring before the leaves emerge in March, April, or May. This differs from Cornus kousa which flowers in spring, shortly after the tree comes out of dormancy. You will see blooms on your Kousa Dogwood in April, May, or June with warmer climates at the earlier end of the spectrum and cooler toward the end.
The growth rate of Dogwoods differs slightly between the varieties, but in general these ornamental trees tend to grow at a moderate rate. Under ideal conditions they can grow 1 to 2 feet per year. Kousa Dogwoods tend to grow at a slightly slower rate than native flowering Dogwoods.
For most areas of the US, early fall and spring are the best times to plant Dogwoods. Summer planting can be successful in areas with mild summers. The same applies to winter planting in areas with mild winters. If you live in a tropical growing zone, avoid planting in late spring or summer when temperatures are high for best results. When planting trees in summer be sure to provide plenty of water to combat heat stress. A layer of mulch will help the ground hold moisture better and protect the roots.
Striking for lining driveways, staggered throughout your property, or as a single specimen, Dogwood trees are versatile in the landscape. These trees are drought tolerant and adaptable and can grow in sun or shade so you have a lot of options. Dogwoods tend to grow taller in shade than in sun but are usually fuller in more sun. If you want an attractive plant bed, plant a Dogwood Tree on the corner of the bed and then fill in the area with junipers and azaleas. These colorful plant selections will make your dogwood tree stand out.
