Planting Guidelines
Planting Guidelines
Plant dogwood in the Spring, in moist, well drained, slightly acidic soil. Dig a hole three time the width to allow for root expansion, and equal depth. Water the soil before placing dogwood into the ground. Place dogwood into the ground and fill hole back with the soil.
Winter Care
Winter Care
During fall and winter Dogwoods will enter its dormant state. During this time the leaves will fall off and the stem will turn brown. The roots of your Dogwood will continue to grow during this time.
Potting & Container
Potting & Container
Dogwoods have very dense, fast growing roots systems. This requires more care when keeping in a pot/container. They need well drained soil and lots of water for the first few years. Select a container that is at least twice the size of the Dogwood. You can add a layer of mulch to the top to help retain moisture.

Dear Jamie-
I truly hope that you have already spoken to one our representatives to assist in making this right for you. If not, please allow us to help. I apologize for you receiving one of our trees that was less than stellar.
As with all farming or agriculture items, the weather was the biggest obstacle to hinder the products, despite all our best efforts. We had a longer winter than normal, which caused a slower growing rate on the trees, and the delay of delivery from Spring or May timeframe. The plan changed to have all the trees shipped no later than June 13th. We had over 2,000 of the dogwood trees leaving our farm and they had to schedule to leave the farm in batches, which caused a little more delay than initially planned. I apologize again for this inconvenience and the delay.
The dogwoods have extremely delicate leaves and root system at this very young age. Then, the entire nation overall experienced a heat wave a lot earlier in the year that reaching record high numbers when we were shipping; this caused some of the delicate Dogwood trees to also be affected yet again.
There was so much thought into this special gift, and I apologize for the less than stellar condition that your tree arrived in. I truly understand and know it can be frustrating.
We have a guarantee on all our products and would be willing to replace this special tree. We only ship our Dogwoods once a year, and unfortunately, they are sold out already for this year. However, I’ll be happy to replace it with ANY other tree of your choice that is in stock from the website: https://www.seedsoflife.com/in-memory. Or I can send you a replacement Dogwood next year.
Again, my most sincere apologies and I know this is not to our standards, or your expectations. I want to try and re-earn your trust and business and change your opinion of us.

I was informed the dogwood would be shipped in June. By mid June, I called and was informed they would start shipping that week. I received notification that day stating shipping was in progress with an estimated delivery date of Thursday. When I tracked shipment on Thursday, the info from FedEx stated in progress. One week later, I received another notification stating shipping was in progress with another Thursday delivery date. It was delivered(1 week later), looking very dried out. We immediately planted, the roots were very dry and loose. I’m hopeful it will take, but concerned. This was a bereavement remembrance and we wanted something special.

Disappointment with Shipping
Don Horton • June 28th, 2022

I received Dogwood Memorial Gift in honor of my dad's passing from my work team. I was very touched by their thoughtfulness. However, I was disappointed when I open the box to find the tree was too tall for the packing box and the top 12 inches had been broken off. I reached out via email to Seeds of Life including a picture of the broken tree. I was advised that the tree look otherwise healthy and I should proceed with planting. I was offered a memorial cross which I accepted for the issue. The tree has been planted now for a couple of weeks. The heat here in NC has taken its toll on the plant but we are keeping it watered and we are trusting it will survive. I find your product offering to be excellent and I've found your team to be responsive. However I must admit my disappointment when I open a gift in memorial to my dad that was damaged. I would suggest using the appropriate sized box for shipping to avoid this issue in the future.
Dear Don -
We are sorry for the loss of your father, and we send our continued thoughts, prayers and condolences to you and your family. We hope that peace and love will lift you from sorrow and pain.

My coworkers and I purchased the dogwood tree for our coworker who recently lost her grandson. We were under the impression the tree was to be delivered in the spring as pictured on your website. Much to our dismay, the tree arrived on June 24th plastic wrapped in a card board box very much in need of water and sun. It only had a few leaves remaining and looked like it would not survive. We are VERY disappointed in our purchase and quite frankly embarrassed. We will not be ordering from or recommending your company again.

I love to give trees when applicable as a remembrance of someone's lift and impact. Included was an engraved cross.

Overall I’m satisfied. I sent a dogwood tree to a friend who lost a family member. The card I wrote out was not sent with the tree, so my friend had no idea who sent the gift. I wound up having to call and ask if it had arrived, so that was a bit awkward. But he said the gift meant so very much and planted it in honor of the deceased.
Hello Dawn-
Thank you for completing a review. We appreciate your business.
We send our condolences to your friend and their family during their time of grief. We truly hope they will enjoy the beauty of this Dogwood and may it remind them of the wonderful memories they have shared.
My apologies that the card was not received. The gift message cards are located on the outside of the box in a clear sleeve, with an image of a tree. This is often overlooked when receiving the package and opening. I am not sure if this was the case, however, we have been working on new design efforts to hopefully correct oversight of the cards.
Truly,

Sent a tree to the family of my sisters best friend. Tree arrived in very poor condition and several messages were left with the company and not returned. I have a family member that received a tree from this company and it was beautiful so I know the product. I would not have said anything if the customer service was better. I understand there are shipping delays but it took calling the company three times before anyone responded.

Beautiful Tree, Shipping Mix Up
Lorie • July 9th, 2021
Verified Customer
The tree and the memorial stake were both beautiful. Unfortunately, my friend only got the tree and it had people's names on it that she did not know. After a week of not hearing from her I called to ask if she got it, she was thrilled to know who sent it. I called Seeds of Life, they were very apologetic and quickly got the stake out to her. I would buy again since it is a great gift and they fixed the error quickly.
Good Morning Lorie-
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. Again, we sincerely apologize for the mix up and am glad to hear that you gave us the opportunity to make it right.
Our deepest and most sincere condolences to your friend during this time of loss. May this dogwood tree bring her peace and comfort as it flourishes and blooms.

Beautiful Memorial Garden Dogwood Tree
Shantae Brown • June 28th, 2021
Verified Customer
While it has been a very difficult time for me and my family, your prayers, cards, meals, flowers, visits, messages, etc. have helped my family so much. Along with flowers, we also received the most gorgeous dogwood tree. We took the tree and flowers/plants from the service to make a memorial garden around a pond that my brother created years ago, which is located between my house and my parents next door. We sit by it daily.
Hi Shantae--
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review.
We here at Seeds of Life are sending you the warmest thoughts and condolences during such a difficult time.
As I am sure you are aware, the dogwood flowers are connected with durability and the ability to withstand various challenges in life. Although the dogwood flower is small and delicate looking, it’s actually quite tough, just as you and your family have recently had to endure.
May you find peace and comfort next your "memorial garden".
Sincerely,
Maleena

We purchased this tree and inscribed sign for a coworker in memory of his dad. He was so touched by the thoughtfulness and said it was the best gift he has ever received. After this experience I would never sent regular flowers. For just a bit more money as he sits on his deck he will watch this beautiful tree grow and think of his dad.

My siblings and I ordered a memorial tree for my aunt and uncle after my cousin passed away. The postcard was sent when we ordered it, but we knew the tree would not be there until spring. When I sent an email inquiring when exactly it might shipped, I was told it would arrive by the end of May. It actually shipped about a week or so after that!! My aunt loved how beautifully they packaged it with burlap and a ribbon, and it was quite large and beautiful! I will be doing this from now on instead of sending cut flowers. Thank you!

My friends and I purchased a Dogwood Memorial Tree with a personalized engraved tag in Memory of our friend's son. Over the weekend, on a cloudy day, they planted the tree near his favorite fishing spot. Immediately upon placing the last shovel of dirt, the sun popped out. Our friends were thrilled with the gift and believe that their son was quite happy with the placement of the tree!
Such a great idea!

Received a postcard in the mail this past December that my work colleagues had ordered one of these dogwoods in memory of my dad who had passed away. The potted tree arrived later on in the spring carefully wrapped in burlap and packaged inside a box. We planted it on the edge of the woods. Beautiful flowers already. Such a great idea.

Whitney Alexander • May 21st, 2018

I ordered a dogwood at the first part of May knowing that they started shipping in May. However, website says shipping within 3 to 5 business days. After three business days I had not received information. I sent and email and was informed that it would not ship until May 29th. This meant a wait of more than three weeks which is not acceptable and is against your shipping information. It was eventually corrected and was shipped timely, but it took a complaint from me. Overall things worked out, but I don't think I will use your company again.
Hi Whitney,Thank you so much for reaching out to us with this issue. We are thankful for your order and your feedback so we can learn how to serve our clients better in the future.We start shipping many of the different spring orders starting in mid-April through the end of May. Out of all of the different gift trees that we grow, the dogwoods take a longer time to develop a root system full enough for shipping. To make sure the gift recipient receives a tree that can thrive upon arrival is why we like to wait until the end of May to ship out the dogwoods�. Their roots just take a little extra time. I think in the future we could customize the dogwood purchase on the website and with the custom pre-book tree card to state a more exact shipping date towards the end of May.Again, I am sorry for any confusion this caused and we appreciate your business.Sincerely,Matt Roth
