American Dogwood
The American dogwood is a beloved native flowering tree found throughout the eastern United States. Known for its iconic white or pink spring blooms, this heirloom favorite brings timeless beauty to woodland edges and residential landscapes. Its layered branching structure and vibrant fall foliage provide multi-season interest. American dogwoods typically grow 15–30 feet tall and thrive in USDA Zones 5 to 9. They prefer partial shade and well-drained, slightly acidic soil. This classic ornamental tree is perfect as an understory planting or focal point, offering elegance and natural charm.
Japanese Dogwood
The Japanese dogwood, also known as Kousa dogwood, is a durable and ornamental flowering tree prized for its long-lasting blooms and strong disease resistance. Blooming later in the season than American varieties, it produces star-like white or pink flowers in late spring to early summer. Its attractive, exfoliating bark and rich red fall color add year-round appeal. Japanese dogwoods typically reach 15–25 feet tall and perform well in USDA Zones 5 to 8. They tolerate more sun than native types and thrive in well-drained soil. This versatile tree is ideal for modern landscapes and homeowners seeking reliable performance with striking beauty.

⚠️ Important Seasonal Note
Dogwood trees are deciduous, meaning they naturally go dormant during parts of the year.
Depending on the season, your tree may arrive without leaves or appear less full than expected. This is completely normal and helps ensure a healthy, stress-free transition during shipping and planting. A simple scratch test on the bark will reveal green tissue underneath, indicating the tree is alive and healthy.
