Care Information
General Care
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
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.
Truly,
Maleena

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.

I was very disappointed in the condition the tree arrived in. The leaves were browning and very brittle. I don't think this tree will survive.

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.
