Hardiness Zones 4-9
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 never want to provide anything less than top-quality products. At any time, we encourage our customers to contact us, as we are more than happy to try and resolve any issue with our products.
I know this memorial gift has very special meaning and our apologies for the less than stellar condition on this tree. I truly understand and know it can be frustrating. The dogwoods have extremely delicate leaves and root system at this very young age. It could have been the heat wave the entire nation has recently felt during transit that caused your tree not to do well.
We currently have beautiful white dogwood trees that I would be happy to replace if you would like. I can get that sent out the first of next week for you.
If you can please send me your address for shipping along with any photos of the tree for our records only. You are welcome to email the photos to me or you can text them to my direct number listed below.
Again, my most sincere apologies and I know this is not to our standards, or your expectations.
Truly,
Maleena
I would like to personally apologize that we have fell short of not only your expectation, but our standards. You are very correct; this is unacceptable and truly out of character for us and our team.
Maria, our office manager has reached out to assist in trying to make this right for you. I truly hope that you have already spoken to her, and we may have the possibility of re-earning your trust.
You had put such 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. The dogwoods have extremely delicate leaves and root system at this very young age. 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. 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.
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.
Sincerely,
Maleena
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. We always love hearing the why behind the special gift.

This is heartbreaking and I pray that the Lord places his hands on them to provide comfort and feel at ease.
We strive for excellence in all that we do and are very happy to know that we were able to assist to provide a solution. Being able to have the family receive this heartfelt gift that you put so much thought into and still have a living memorial that will work in their area. This is happy news!

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. You are correct, we do not want to ship to the hotter areas in the top heat of the year, and this was not our plan. We only want to provide top quality products.

I apologize that we were late getting this special tree out from originally expected. As with all farming or agriculture items, weather and mother nature are the biggest obstacles or hurdles that effect the products. In this case we had a longer winter then normal, which caused a slower growing rate on the trees, and the delay of delivery.
I hope that we may have the opportunity to serve you again in the future,
Kind Regards,
Maleena
I first want to send my condolences thoughts and prayers during your loss of one of the most special people in your life, our mom. She will continue to hold your hand, hug you and reassure you. She taught you to be lady and respectful, but she probably was the best example of teaching you to be tough and determined. May she rest in peace, and you, in time find comfort .

We would ask that you water the tree, put it in partial sun/shade, and prune the leaves that are the worst and give it time to rehydrate. This can take one to two weeks.
We want your healing process to continue and for you to have the living tribute to your mom as intended. We only ship our Dogwoods once a year, and they are done for this year. However, I’ll be happy to replace it with another tree of your choice from the website.
Kind Regards,
Maleena
We are delighted to hear that we can be a part of this special gift that will provide a living memorial to someone so special for generations to come.

We appreciate your business.

Again, I send my most sincere apologies. I hope that you will allow us to possibly change your opinion of us in the future.

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

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
We are so very honored that we can be part of the memorial to your co-workers beloved wife. We send our deepest thoughts, prayers and condolences to him and their family in this tragic time of loss.
