What Are Rough Dogwood Live Stakes? 

Live stakes refer to the cuttings of a shrub or tree that you plant directly in the ground. Here's how this process works.

 An arborist or horticulturist will use a sterile tool to select branches from a shrub or tree, generally during dormancy. The cutting, aka the stake, goes directly into the ground in its permanent location. It develops roots over time, strengthens, and grows into a lovely flowering shrub. 

For many plants, this planting process occurs during the early spring before buds emerge. But some, like rough dogwood live stakes, are adaptable and tolerate it almost any time of the year. 

Rough Dogwood Live Stakes Grow Into an Easy-Care Flowering Shrub 

Rough dogwood seedlings will produce charming flowering shrubs. It will reach a full-grown height of around twelve to fifteen feet and a broad canopy of about equal size.

 As the small live stakes become shrubs, the leaves are approximately three inches long and form an opposing pattern along the stems. The leaves will be rich and glossy green.

 The flowers will light up springtime with their snowy white blooms, combining multiple tiny, four-petaled flowers into impressive clusters.
