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.
Memorial Pink Dogwood Tree
I sent this tree to my dear sister-in-law 2 weeks ago. She was married to my oldest brother who, sadly, passed away June 30th from Parkinson's Disease. She lives in Portland, Oregon and has a beautiful tiered garden. She loves the pink dogwood and will keep it on her deck until next spring when she will plant it in the front of her home and always have it to look at. Thank you for the professional and beautiful work you do.
Thank you for your kind words Anne

Pink Dogwood
I ordered a pink dogwood tree for a co-worker who had lost his mother. He replied that he truly appreciated the gesture and loved that he will have a tree in honor of his loss and see it grow. That rippled into an email from my boss saying what a great job I did.
I also think this is better than flowers because it will last, always look at a tree grow and you never forget your loved one and it also helps the planet and the future generations. A reminder of past, current and future.

A Nice way to give a memorial
I was happy with the service. It’s a good way to have neighbors get together a memorial.
The plaque was lovely also. The tree looks healthy, and was packaged in a pleasing way.

Hello Mary-
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review with Seeds of Life.
We really want our clients to have a great experience and if something is not right we really desire to make it right for you.
Sometimes in the spring when we first start shipping the Dogwoods they may seem to be smaller in size . However, this tree is very healthy and will thrive when planted in full sun. There are directions on each tree to make sure that our clients plant the trees correctly. If there are any questions you can always reach out to us to make sure the tree is cared for correctly.
I know once this tree is given a little more time it will grow into a beautiful specimen that can be enjoyed for years to come. Full sun, water and a little time will yield the most beautiful tree.
Thank you again for reaching out to us and please let us know If I can answer any questions.
Sincerely,
Maleena

Disappointed
I ordered the tree on March 27 thinking it would come (hopefully) with blooms, as April is when dogwoods bloom here. A couple weeks later I called the company and was informed that the tree would not be shipped until the end of May, because that's when they ship them to my region. I was disappointed when I heard that. I had to accept that the tree would definitely not be in bloom. When the tree did arrive, it was not full like the picture on the website. The tree had leaves only at the top, the trunk was bare. When I saw it, I lied to my friend and said I was pleased… I don't know if she was or not. I am extremely disappointed with my choice of a remembrance, even though the tree is healthy. I do not believe I would have bought it had I known they weren't going to ship it for two months.
Hello Anne
Thank you for completing a review for Seeds of Life. Your feedback is very important to us.
The Pink Dogwood tree that you sent is a deciduous tree that loses all of its leaves in the winter. We discontinue shipping all of these trees at that time because most of our clients cannot plant these trees in the winter. The root system on the tree was just not quite ready to be shipped at the time of your order. We look at the roots each week, and our nursery farmers advised we were able to ship these closer to the end of May. Sometimes in the spring when we first start shipping the Dogwoods they will have more leaves at the top of the stem instead of the bottom. However, this tree is very healthy and will thrive .
I personally apologize that there was not better communication in the forefront, as to the delay in shipping at the time of your order. I know you really wanted this gift to be special and delivered earlier. Again, my most sincerest apologies . We will use this feedback as a training/ learning opportunity to improve our process.
I hope that you may choose to allow us to re-earn your trust and business.
Kindest Regards,
Maleena

One of my co workers lost her father. Because of the current quarantine, there will not be a service. The usual delivery of flowers or food was out of the question. The pink dogwood, which will bloom every year at the time of his passing was the best choice. Her reaction to this gift was will worth it's cost. She felt it was the most thoughtful gift she had ever received. She said that she will have it moved if she ever relocated. Her response moved me deeply and a week later when another friend lost her father, I ordered a white dogwood. Thank you for this service. I can't wait to order something for a happy occasion.

Showing My Work Family They Matter
For my family, giving a young tree symbolizes a life lived and one that will be remembered each and every time the family looks at it. We have gone to picnics at the houses of such recipients and witnessed first hand how these gifts have kept a loved one's memories alive in spirit.
The 4/5 rating is because of the card message limitation. It would be nice if one could place a prayer or poem instead of just a line or two of text.

I have used this site several times now to send a tree to friends who have lost a loved one and they always feel so touched by the unique Gift. I received one after my brother passed away and I love it every single day and it fills my heart with happiness. They are so helpful on the site and the trees are beautiful.

Best way to continue a beautiful legacy. Perfect in every way. Delivery was quick and clean arrival of our tree. Thank you seeds if life.

Our sweet, sweet Sheri
The Seeds of Life experience was phenomenal! My sister in law was out of town when the Pink Dogwood was delivered. Her grandsons were there to get the delivery but did not find a plastic bag with the engraved tree tag & olive cross.
I sent an email over the weekend to find out if they were sent separately. I received a response from Janell first thing Monday morning advising there should be a bag with them in it. I told Her there was no bag. She immediately got a set redone & ready to be shipped. When they were getting ready to water & plant the tree she found a card with my message & the tag. Then she found a green burlap bag, in the tree with the cross in it.
I called Janelle right away & she already had a set engraved & ready to be mailed. I went ahead & ordered another cross as Sheri had two daughters. Now they as well as their nana have a cross.
Thank you so much!
I will be ordering again & recommending to my family & friends.
