Hardiness Zones 5-9
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location.
Care Information
General Care
Watering: Water dogwood twice a week. Sun: Dogwoods like a few hours of full sun and afternoon shade. Pruning: Dogwood require little pruning. You can prune them in late winter; remove any dead or broken branches.
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
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
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.
We are delighted to know the beautiful dogwood tree will serve as a memorial for your mother. It is an honor to grow and ship these trees as memorial gifts. Much care and attention is given to each and every one. We have a dedicated team that strives for perfection in all they do.
It is a blessing to serve you and we look forward to helping you again.
Warmly,
Julie
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.

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,
Maleena

Despite many hours in many meetings with our delivery partners, as it turns out, they are not able to guarantee delivery at this time. This is of course out of their or my control. I truly apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this may have caused you. We have been working with our shipping department on better ways for the gift message to be identified and seen, as it is sometimes overlooked being on the outside of the package.
I hope that we may have the honor of serving you in the future .
Kind Regards,
Maleena
