Landscape Uses & Care Tips for White Dogwood Trees

The White Dogwood Tree is a native deciduous flowering tree you must include in your landscaping for your home or company. Excellent when planted in your border, shade garden, or as an accent for your yard. Add native flowers underneath for a pleasant spring display.Beautiful white flowers bloom in spring, creating showy and gorgeous clouds of creamy white in your landscape. Small red berries replace them in the fall.

As these trees are most often understory in their natural environment, they perform best in locations that offer them partial shade with dappled sunlight. However, this tree can tolerate full sun and it not prone to pests or diseases.

Pollinators Flock to this beautiful flowering tree

Their flowers are attractive to many different types of bees. Good news for birders – many local birds, including Cedar Waxwings, Northern Flickers, and Robins eat the berries. Squirrels and other small mammals also eat them.

Why Choose a White Dogwood Tree?

The White Dogwood Tree attracts many butterflies with its nectar-filled flowers. It is most notably the host plant for the Spring Azure butterfly and the nocturnal Cecropia Silk moth.

The flowers are not actually flowers; the “petals” are a modified leaf called bracts. The true flowers are very small and are in the center.

How To Grow & Care Tips

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.
