It Is A Captivating Small Built Tree

Cornus florida is a captivating and ornamental tree native to the eastern United States. It is renowned for its exquisite beauty, particularly its striking rosy or rosy-hued blossoms that adorn its branches in the early spring. These blossoms make it a beloved and sought-after addition to gardens and landscapes.

This tree generally grows to 15-30 feet tall, with a slightly wider spread, forming a rounded or vase-shaped canopy. Its signature feature is its profusion of showy, four-petaled flowers that appear in clusters, known as bracts. These bracts are not the actual flowers but modified leaves surrounding the small, inconspicuous real flowers. The bracts start as soft, pale, and rosy and gradually deepen in color as they mature, creating a captivating gradient of hues.

As the seasons progress, the tree undergoes a mesmerizing transformation. In spring, the tree symbolizes roses and beauty, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. During summer, its vibrant green foliage provides a lush and cooling canopy. In the fall, the leaves turn shades of crimson, scarlet, and burgundy, adding a rich tapestry of color to the landscape. Moreover, it produces small, shiny red berries that birds find valuable in autumn.

This tree is prized for its beauty and adaptability to various soil types and sun conditions. It is often used as an understory tree in woodland settings, where its delicate blossoms contrast beautifully with the dappled light filtering through the canopy.

It is A Symbol Of Grace 

It is not just a tree but a symbol of grace, resilience, and the enduring beauty of nature. This magnificent plant is a true spectacle with its delicate and intricate petals, vibrant colors, and captivating fragrance. Its blossoms, in various shapes and sizes, change with the seasons, offering a constantly evolving display of beauty throughout the year. Whether found in gardens, parks, or natural landscapes, this exquisite plant never fails to impress, inspiring feelings of wonder and awe in all who have the privilege of experiencing its splendor.

Facts about the flowers?

The flowers are small and clustered, but the trees' vibrancy is enhanced by petal-shaped leaves. 

How long will it live? 

If planted well, they will be 30-40 years old by the time they are ready to harvest. When watered properly, fertilised and shielded from pests and diseases, they can easily live for 30 years or more. 

What's the best spot to grow one? 

They like to grow in well-drained, acidic, moist soils in partly shaded or indirect sunlight. It is recommended to plant in a sunny place, and the plant should be left enough room to branch horizontally so it has a strong root system. 

What makes mine not bloom? 

Even a tree that is disease free and healthy can suffer from failing to flower for one of several reasons, including light problems, untimely pruning or an absence of nutrients. It can also be triggered by late frosts or drought conditions. So we need to take the proper precautions to get it to flower.

What is the ideal fertilizer for them? 

Pink Princess Dogwood will respond to slow-release, diluted nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizers such as 12-4-8 or 16-4-8. It should be used between February-March or September-October because the plants will have had a break from using this solution.

Care

Pink Princess Dogwood thrives in well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering, especially during dry periods. Trim after flowering to remove any dead or damaged branches. Watch for pests to keep the tree healthy and vibrant.

Plant Reproduction icon

Plant Reproduction

Pink Princess Dogwood spreads through seed dispersal and root suckers.

Plant bare root trees during the dormant season in early spring or late fall (November through April). Dig the hole twice as wide as the roots so the soil is well-drained. Position the tree so the root flare is at or just above ground level. Fill the hole back with the soil you dug from and water. Maintain soil moisture, especially in the tree's early years, by providing deep, regular watering. Apply a 2-4 inch mulch away from the trunk at the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune trees during the first few seasons to establish strength and resilience, remove damaged branches, and continue maintenance pruning as the tree matures. Regularly inspect for pests and diseases and apply integrated pest management practices. Protect young trees from mechanical damage and extreme temperatures with tree guards, and stake them if necessary for support, removing the stakes after one or two years.

Pleasantly Surprised

After reading tons of negative reviews, I had pretty much kissed my payment goodbye! When they were received, they looked pretty good. But, after having my pink dogwoods in the ground for a while, they are both leafing out and looking great!

Sturdy, Healthy Pink Dogwood

I bought 3 of these transplants for delivery mid April. Our spring weather turned much colder and rainy and I was unable to plant for some time. I thought I had lost one, as the stem stayed green and pliable, but with no leaves growing. Much to my surprise, I spotted 2 tiny leaves emerging this week. You offer quality transplants at a reasonable price. Thank you!
