Dogwood trees are grafted to make the red and pink varieties. They are highly sought after and come in many sizes at TN Nursery. They are a high-end and elegant choice for homeowners who like exotic flowering shrubs. Their twisted branches and delicate petals with bloodstains on the edges endorse them as the type of tree Christ was crucified on the cross.

Why Flowering Dogwood Trees are Loved by Gardeners & Birds
This lush tree has small, vibrant green leaves that accompany its flowers along the twig-like branches. It grows in a low-branching, vase shape, with interweaving branches that create a thick canopy.
As the Flowering Dogwood Tree matures, it develops a rounder shape, extending its branches out horizontally and growing more widespread. It flowers in spring, sprouting delicate flowers whose petals fade from white into a glorious pink, hugging around the light green center to create a small trumpet-style bloom. These heavenly flowers are beautiful against the small, bright green leaves.
In summer, the flowers fade to reveal a bright red fruit that is edible and will attract birds and insects. The bark adds visual dimension to this plant as well, as it has exfoliating patches of tan bark under the grey-brown outer layer.

How To Grow
How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Trees
Bare root trees are shipped dormant without soil, making them lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to plant during the cool months of early spring or fall. To begin, soak the roots in a bucket of water for 4–6 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and ample space for the tree’s mature size.
Dig a hole twice as wide as the spread of the roots and deep enough to keep the root flare (where the roots begin to spread from the trunk) at or slightly above ground level. Create a small mound of soil in the center of the hole, spread the roots evenly over it, backfill with native soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.
Keep the soil consistently moist (not soggy) during the first growing season, and apply mulch around the base—avoiding direct contact with the trunk—to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Stake the tree if necessary, and prune only to remove dead or damaged branches. With proper care, your bare root tree will establish quickly and grow strong for years to come.
