I have a native dog wood that I’m planting this spring but I like the idea of this as a screen
I got this tree after seeing it on your channel to replace a white dogwood knocked down by hurricane Florence. I could only afford a 3 foot. I got it last year. I hope it takes off soon.
Have 3 of these in my yard- though small hoping to enjoy the flowers in a few years.
I must add one of these to my new backyard
I had a kousa dogwood but because of my mistakes it lived about 3-4 years, didn't grow much, hardly bloomed and then died. I was much less informed as a gardener then but this video has convinced me to try again...or get my daughter to plant one! They are beautiful! 💟👍
Now I need an Empress of China Dogwood1
What a pretty plant.
Thanks for the info on this dogwood. I keep trying to order one and everyone is always out of stock. Hopefully I can get one soon.
The focus on specific plants is a great compliment to the other channel. Please keep both going. They really compliment each other.
I am so happy to be a subscriber here on your new channel. I almost expected you to say at the welcoming start…”where we talk all things gardening”! The content from 4 years ago is still enjoyable for me! I think that’s why many of us appreciate this new approach: it’s very much like the earlier Jim Putnam videos where we get 2 minutes of pertinent info on a shrub or perennial. Thanks for all your hard work; it’s much appreciated.
It’s beautiful!! 💗
Beautiful tree with great flowers and berries . Wish the deer didn’t like them so much!
I purchased this on a whim so learning more about it was helpful. Good info.
I so need this!
I love that this cultivar is evergreen, so needed green color in winter
Love that it is evergreen! Might have to get one to complement my Heart Throb.
I love Dogwoods. I hope to plant one on my new acreage.
Beautiful! Love these individual plant videos - especially zone 5 and 6! Thank you!
Good to know about anthracnose resistance!
I am enjoying the knowledge you share! Thank you!
Absolutely stunning with so much interest 💕
Great info!
In 7a, Empress of China has definitely not been deer resistant for me or my parents, who live an hour from me. The first winter in the ground the deer stripped both of ours down to nothing. I Must Garden deer repellant once a month has done the trick to keep the deer off of them ever since we discovered that the deer think they are yummy. My dad forgot to spray his this winter and just yesterday my mom sent me a photo showing that the deer had stripped it down to nothing again. Definitely deer food for us, but a pretty enough tree to make it worth the effort of keeping up with repellant.
Good info. Thanks
This is a beauty.
The flowers are really beautiful!
I’m glad I found this channel🌼🌹
I love the way this tree looks. I’ll be on the lookout!
Such a pretty dogwood.
I love this evergreen tree! Can't wait for mine to get established
Nice to see an evergreen dogwood
We finally found one and it's on the way! Super excited!
Love the dogwood -- I'm in GA and see them everywhere!
Thanks so much for educating all of us gardening wannabes!
I love dogwoods and this one would be perfect.
I absolutely love dogwood. So glad it survived the winter. Thank you for all the info.
Every day I look forward to your gardening episodes; I have learned a lot from you. I too am in zone 7. So anytime I need information about my flower beds or vegetable garden you have the answer! Thank You Jim Putnam.
I want one if these! Thanks for sharing!
I need to look for this one!
This is immensely helpful finding an evergreen tree of this size that is not a conifer... and the blooms make it outstanding! Thank hou for sharing!
Oh, wow. Your dogwood is loaded with buds. Cannot wait to see it this spring.
I have a few Salvias in pots that unbelievably to me somehow weren't getting enough water but thanks to you, I now know what a couple of yellowing leaves in the centre of a plant means, and am able to now have them thriving with a bit extra water other than just from the sprinkler x
Love your Empress.. thinking of adding it for sweet year-round color.
We moved into our house two year ago and there is a dogwood they planted by our front door. So beautiful…The flowers look exactly like yours, but ours is not evergreen. Zone 6b It is under planted below a WillowOak with has taken over the front lawn! It has the same beautiful pink berries. This information is so helpful on how to care for it.
Great content and channel!
Neat berries!
Looking forward to putting one of these in my 6A yard this spring. Thanks Jim!
a beautiful specimen for any garden ... been looking to put one in mine - as soon as I figure out the perfect spot for it !! thanks for all the information about this, and all the plants/trees/shrubs you bring to our attention !!!
The fruit of this dogwood is beautiful!
I have never heard of this one. Gotta have!
Enjoy your videos!
I need this in my garden
Never seen one of these! Pretty
Great video! Such an interesting plant, one that I'm going to consider for my landscape.
I love your channel. I garden in your same zone and I really appreciate seeing what grows well for you. Thanks!
I have added 3 of these to my new property .
I’ve been looking for something for a particular spot in my yard and think I found it. Thanks Jim!
I've always liked Dogwoods.
Thanks for all the info on this dogwood. I've been wanting to plant a dogwood and now I know which one! Love your channels.. keep the videos coming! I hope I win the consult :)
Good information. I love my Kousa dogwood
The fruit is gorgeous! I’m so impressed that yours grew 3 feet its second year in the ground! I love that this is also evergreen.
Interesting dogwood.
Great new channel
Another very informative video. I'm enjoying your new channel. I knew a lady over 30 years ago that had several of these throughout her property. They were stunning when in bloom.
Interesting that this could be a great screening plant!
I have a native white dogwood. I love them.. Hi from NASH county NC
Thank you, I have been on the look out for a tree like plant that gets no bigger than 15ft tall, as I live in the suburbs. Keep the video's coming!😁
Great, informative video Jim. Deers indeed enjoy this tree. A deer killed my 2 gallon baby tree last year. It couldn’t regenerate leaves fast enough to make it.
Just bought one from Mr. Maple that is variegated, can’t wait.
I always thought dogwoods were more of a typical tree look versus what you’ve shown here. Thanks for broadening my awareness and knowledge!
These are great trees, I agree the Appalachian series would be great as well. I also wouldn't mind going over some Apricot varieties.
Excited to know this is disease resistant. I lost over 40 dogwoods in my yard to disease. And miss the beautiful show in the spring.
I have always wanted to try a dogwood but been afraid to try. I will have to see your other videos as they come on dogwood to decide the right one for me to try. Thank you!
Thank you for bringing this video to us. I need to try this tree in my zone 9b (Terrytown, LA). It’s currently 36 degrees and damp; not pleasant to work in the garden.
Been eyeing this one in your yard for a while. Have a hole after losing a giant 50-year old silver maple in our front yard. Would like a smaller tree so we can add more sun loving plants in the area., but still provide benefit to the birds and other wildlife. This is tempting!
Cha ching!! another plant I "need".
Need to find a spot for this!
I love this tree had one in Indiania
Got a spot already picked out for one of these!
Request: could you please do some on those Appalachian dogwood series? thanks
I definitely will. I'm spending time at a couple of nurseries in Tennessee this year.
Would love to get my hands on several of these dogwoods. Also, if we did use it as a screening plant, I have a great location but it's background would be my neighbor's crepe myrtles. Picture a row of crepe myrtles (about 5) on their side of the fence, and nothing on ours. Everything is in full sun, but I would love to have some of my own plants. Zone 7b - Charlotte NC area.
Love the dogwood but have never planted one as I believe they require acid soils. It would be helpful if you would indicate soil ph for the plants you discuss. I am finding this channel extremely helpful. Thank you
You can try acidifying the soil with Espoma acidifier or even just straight elemental sulfur as you plant. I mix in the pine bark soil improver, then add elemental sulfur and Espoma Holly Tone fertilizer, then plant and backfill. It’s worked for me (Zone 7, northern Virginia).
@@Malamba4231 thank you. I will try it.
Great video; I have 2, one blooms ok, the other not so much, going to move them very soon, I think they are in to much shade. I’m in zone 8😊
I'm interested b/c of the prolific blooms & funky berries more so than the fact that they're evergreen.
Beautiful plant! This may be one I need to try. I’ve been looking for something that would produce berries.
I just thought dogwoods were for the zones lower than zone 9. I was feeling a bit left out with the lack of plants for a zone 9. I'm so glad this is for the higher zones.
I have an old dogwood I need to remove and this one would be perfect to put in its place 👍
Please let me know if the Tennessee growers have found a way to grow our native dogwoods successfully again.
Certainly one to consider. We've got a huge native Dogwood at the corner of our property. It seems really healthy but was being eaten by English Ivy & Wisteria. I've done lots of removal & hoping for the emergence of some resistant seedlings. Nothing prettier in the spring than Dogwood bloom!
Nice informative video as always. It is really nice to have your chanel on TH-cam. Im not an english speaking native but I can understand everything you say. I have tried numerous cornus kousa and florida to grow in my zone 7a (Sometimes 6b) Rainbow, Cherokee Chief, Brave, Satomi... Seedlingds. I found the biggest problem for me is summer. We have hot and dry summer. It gets about 40C. Even thou I watter deep, give them acidic mulch, osmocote, sun protection mesh... Tried shade, semishade, sun... Every aspect they die during summer. Sprayed fungicides regullarly. Can this Empress of China grow in full sun in hot 40C dry space or is it better to grow it in shade or semishade? Thanks Jim Greetings from Serbia. All of my gardening friends watch you on TH-cam. 👍👋
Love my dogwoods, would like to move them from where they are at my new house, but I don't think that's really possible since they are established already.
Thanks Jim, this is on the list for sure!! I keep seeing another dogwood called a “scarlet fire dogwood” …. Would I expect the same size, growth rate and evergreen qualities here in zone 6? It’s also only available in bare root, should I hold off and keep searching?
Pretty! Sounds like the deer here would eat it 🤣
Beautiful tree- defiantly going to buy one for a very large container. 🌳
What would cause Kousa dogwoods from not blooming? I have four of them in various locations with various sun exposure. Two were planted six years ago and two four years ago. They look healthy but sadly no flowers. I have two native dogwood that are both prolific bloomers. Zone 6b/7 western NC.
Tried starting them from seeds once and not one germinated. Stratified.
Hi Jim love your channel. Is there a specific dogwood that I can plant in deep shade?
Found one of these while traveling way south in Tuscaloosa, I’m 6b central Ky. You seem to be connected w Southern Living - is there any way to learn where certain plants will be sold (tough to find certain types they sell). Thx
I’d love to plant a dogwood tree, need to figure out where should I put in my backyard
This is a beautiful species. How quickly does this grow in comparison to our native (NC 7b) dogwoods?
Thanks so much for this video. Can you suggest any dogwoods for zone 5 or 4?
