  experience on the flowering dogwood
• The flowering dogwood is a sturdy tree with
  beautiful blooms that make an appearance starting
  in spring and continue through summer. The blooms
  are usually white although there are red, pink,
  and blend varieties as well. The varieties of
  flowering dogwood include Blue Ray Kousa dogwood,
  Celestial Shadow dogwood, Cherokee Brave dogwood,
  Cherokee Chief dogwood, Cloud 9 dogwood, pink
  flowering dogwood, red flowering dogwood, and
  Kousa dogwood.

• The flowers have a diameter of about 3-4 inches
  and bloom in April, generally ahead of the leaf
  display. Not to be outdone, most varieties have
  leaves that change color in the fall or have
  interesting leaf patterns, that ensure the beauty
  of the tree during fall as well. The flowers give
  way to berries that attract birds during the
  winter, making this a wonderful tree year-round.
• Select your planting site to suit your needs and
  view while also considering your varietys needs
  for sun and soil to enable the tree to grow to
  its full potential. Although you can grow dogwood
  from seed, to take advantage of the blooms
  sooner, its best to opt for a potted tree. Our
  landscape maintenance services team can
  transplant trees to ensure that the root ball is
  handled carefully and transplanted properly. They
  will also share aftercare instructions with you
  so you can give your tree the attention it needs
  while it adapts to its new home.

• Our landscape maintenance services team gives
  some tips about planning your garden

• Its also important to select trees based on your
  yard size, soil and drainage, and placement
  plans. If your yard is smaller, you may need to
  alter your tree selection. Alternately, certain
  trees that may have potentially invasive roots
  should be placed at a distance from structures to
  avoid damage to the tree or property.
• Trees provide tremendous benefits to a garden.
  With this addition to your yard, you have erosion
  control, a shady spot to read a book, an
  attraction for the birds, and mostly a beautiful
  sight to behold.
