#ProPlantTips for Care:

Kousa Dogwood Trees are incredibly versatile when planted properly in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Give your tree the extra treatment it deserves by planting a 3-4 inch layer of mulch around the base of the tree to ensure even moisture retention and keep the roots cool. Prune Dogwood to shape when dormant, and remove water growth or suckers after flowering. Decide what you want to keep first, then remove crossed branches and branches heading into the interior of the canopy to open it up for sunlight penetration and air circulation.

• Full Sun & Partial/Afternoon Shade
• Needs Well-Drained Acidic Soil
• Moderate Moisture Needs
• Prune When Dormant
• Disease Resistant & Cold Hardy Kousa Variety
