Description

The Pink Dogwood tree was first recognized by Marc Catesby in 1731. Not long after the tree was cultivated it became a popular selection in landscapes across the regions where it will grow. It performs well in USDA Hardiness Zones 5a-9b, which covers a significant portion of the U.S.A

The beautiful, 3 to 4 inch diameter, four-petaled pink flower bracts of the Pink Flowering Dogwood appear in spring before the new leaves emerge. Its leaves remain rich green throughout most of the season until turning a spectacular crimson in fall and then dropping for the winter. A small to medium size tree maturing to 20 to 25 feet tall and wide with an upright rounded habit.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 20 to 25 feet feet tall and wide, the Pink Dogwood is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or in a staggered row in sunny or shady landscape or woodland borders. Also nice to frame the corners of tall homes and to provide beauty and some shade around patios, porches and other outdoor living spaces. A fine addition to woodland gardens, pink theme gardens, wildlife gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 30 feet or more apart for space between trees; 15 feet or more from home foundations

Growing Preferences

Dogwood trees are adaptable to many soil types however prefer a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Though Dogwood trees will tolerate full sun, we think they look and perform best with some shade or filtered sun during the hottest part of summer afternoons. Constantly soggy or wet soils are problematic. Maintenance is minimal to none. Except to remove a stray or broken branch, no pruning is necessary.
