Description

With all the fine attributes of our North American native dogwood but in an incredibly smaller package, this rare beauty forms a mound only 3 feet tall spreading up to 7 feet wide when all grown up! In spring it features LOADS of large 3 to 4 inch white flower bracts that are followed by bright red berries which persist through the end of the year. Its spreading branches are clothed in rich green leaves until fall when they transition to attractive pink and red shades. The alligator skin like bark on the trunk of more mature trees provides interest during the winter. A magnificent flowering tree…or is it a shrub?…that deserves a shady spot in every landscape where it will grow (USDA Zones 6-9), where it is sure to be a conversation piece!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in a natural looking mound to only 3 feet tall and 7 feet wide, we thing the Suwannee Squat Dwarf Flowering Dogwood is best used as a special specimen in a shady to partially shady spot. In larger spaces it can be planted in groupings or staggered rows along a woodland borders. In southern USDA Zones 8 and 9 we suggest some shade or filtered sun during the afternoon hours. Nice around outdoor sitting and living spaces where it is sure to be a conversation piece and the pretty flowers can be enjoyed from close up. A fine addition to woodland gardens, native plant gardens, white theme gardens, perennial shade gardens, and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 10 feet or more apart for space between tree

Growing Preferences

Dogwood trees are adaptable to many soil types, preferring a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Constantly soggy or wet soils are problematic. Though Dogwood trees will tolerate full sun, we think they look and perform best with some shade or filtered sun during the hottest part of summer afternoons, especially in the South. Maintenance is minimal to none. Except to remove a stray or broken branch, no pruning is necessary.
